Town Centre Litter Picked for The Great British Spring Clean

Massive thank you to the 39 litter heroes who joined Wellingborough Eco Group, Wellie Wombles and Wellingborough Town Council yesterday morning for Keep Britain Tidy’s Great British Spring Clean. This took place in the town centre and Croyland Gardens where we litter picked 68 bags full of litter, two trollies and various plastic items!

We’ll done all, a great litter haul.

We set up our recycling station on Market Street from 9:30 to litter pick between 10am-12 midday. Thank you to Wellingborough Town Council who donated litter picking equipment last year, so everything was provided; and to North Northamptonshire Council who took away the litter we picked.

We were joined by the SAVE OUR TREES campaign who had a cake and conversation stall to raise funds for their legal campaign and to share details and updates. Find out more at saveourtrees.co.uk.

Thank you also to Castello Lounge who supported us with refreshments during and afterwards. Great to see friends old and new, and families taking part. Everyone is welcome to join in next time which will be in various locations to tidy up before the Waendel Walk, see you there!
