War on litter in Berkhamsted |
|
| | |
|
The most common item of litter in Berkhamsted is the cigarette end followed by sweet wrappers and fast food containers. Other items have included baby’s dummies, several pairs of socks, half a bottle of vodka, a complete instant barbeque kit, post office rubber bands (a give away because they are red), innumerable bits of plastic, metal and rubber whose uses I cannot guess. |

I wonder whether any readers of this would be ready, willing and able to put on a fluorescent green tabard, pick up a plastic sack and a mechanical litter picker and give about an hour of their time each month on a regular basis. DBC do quite a good job of keeping the High Street , Berkhamsted more or less clean but they very rarely get around to the residential parts of the town - there are only two street cleaners to cover the whole of Berkhamsted. I am co-ordinating the effort so that we do not get unnecessary overlap. We aim to see that each volunteer has a manageable task so that it does not become a chore. It gives an opportunity for fresh air and gentle exercise plus meeting your Berkhamsted neighbours. |
