September 12th saw the launch of our litter picking drive , in earnest.
6 volunteers met at the West Maldon Community Centre for a morning pick up.
Supported by the Maldon District Council , through the provision of litter pickers, bag holders, bags, gloves and hi-vis jackets, the team set out to collect litter from the playing fields and playground adjacent to the Community Centre and from the Public Footpaths , between the Morrison’s superstore and Fambridge Road.
After a couple of hours, 5 large bags had been filled .
As per agreement with the Council’s Waste Services, the bags of rubbish were left at a agreed location , for collection by the Council’s service providers.
Going forward, the volunteers will endeavour to segregate recyclables and waste.
The litter picking sessions are scheduled every 2nd Monday of the month. The next ones being on October 10th , November 14th and December 12th.
