Category: Litter Picking

In January members of the group collected 13 bags of litter which is quite a lot taking into account the mainly inclement weather, so thank you litter pickers!

For the whole of 2024 a total of 215 bags of litter were collected and correctly disposed of by the group 🚮. Sadly this is only a small proportion of rubbish dumped in and around Hucknall but we are doing our best to help improve our environment so if anyone knows of any particular grot spots please do let us know.

Members have obviously had other things to do on the run up to Christmas. However, one member has managed to collect 9 bags of rubbish and other members have collected small amounts of litter on their perambulations and disposed of it in the nearest litter bins. No doubt there will be plenty for us to do when normality resumes.

On behalf of the Litter Picking Group may I wish all members of Hucknall & District u3a a healthy and happy 2025.

November has thrown a lot of diverse weather at us – heavy rain, strong winds and a lot of snow, none of which is conducive to litter picking. Nonetheless members of the group have braved the weather whenever possible and collected a total of 15 bags of rubbish which under the circumstances is very commendable. One member has commented how much she enjoys chatting to people as she collects  litter, a comment with which I think other members of the group can associate.

Most members of the public do seem to appreciate our efforts. I just wish litter louts would pack it in!
