With the onset of longer daylight hours and an improvement in the weather, litter louts seem to have been out and about more – but so have our litter pickers who have managed to clear our areas of 25 bags of rubbish during February. The most bizarre item which one litter picker found this month in Washdyke Lane Park was a large traffic bollard which has since been placed next to a litter bin in readiness for collection by the council.
Starting on Monday 3rd March Ashfield District Council are rolling out ‘The BIG Ashfield Spring Clean’ as part of their commitment to make Ashfield a cleaner place to live, work and visit. Residents are invited to dispose of a small amount of bagged household waste during their designated week and on top of this, Flying Skips will be out and about across the District for you to dispose of extra waste, toys and bric-a-brac. See the Ashfield District Council website for full details.
