landowners, local groups and communities to
ensure that the areas in most need of attention are
targeted as well as the practical arrangements such
as meeting points, parking arrangements and
ensuring the litter collected is in a suitable location
for removal by the local Council following the event.
During the litter picks, members of the organisation
have provided advice and guidance about how to
remain safe whilst collecting litter in the area as well
as taking the opportunity to promote the benefits of
keeping the area free of litter and educating the
community.
The organisation regularly attends local large scale
public events (such as Aylesbury Party in The Park
Weekend) arranged by Buckinghamshire Council
and Aylesbury Town Council with a view to
educating the public about the environmental
impacts of littering, promoting the benefits of litter| |||picking and promoting a re-purposing and recycling
culture.
The organisation has also worked with local
businesses, schools and youth groups (e.g. Scouts
& Guides) to arrange group litter picks for their staff
and students/members as well as craft and
educational sessions. All equipment and disposal of
waste is provided to those who take part.| |---|---|---| |Statement confirming
