Litter Picking Events – September 2019

CPRE Devon organised two litter picking events as part of the national CPRE ‘Green Clean’ campaign for the month of September.

Our Teignbridge members collected several bags of litter at Hackney Marshes, near Newton Abbot on Saturday 14th September. And then on 20th September, we helped Exeter based company Devon Norse with a litter pick on the Sowton Industrial Estate. This was the second year we have teamed up with Devon Norse, and 24 bags of rubbish were collected in just an hour!

If you would like us to help you organise a litter pick in your area, please contact us. We have all the litter picking gear, ready for use! There are no benefits to litter and fly tipping. Its just awful. A blight in our towns, villages, countryside and roadside verges, and its harmful to animals, wildlife and the environment. Lets clean up Devon!
