Throughout the year Litter Pickers of all ages from °¬˛ćAƬ schools, communities, volunteers and partnerships have been busily tidying up the borough. Litter Picks organised by the Local Environmental Quality (LEQ) Officer, John Mewett, have been taking place and a considerable amount of rubbish has been collected and where possible recycled, not only from high streets and car parks but also those awkward to reach places.
In recognition of all the hard work that has taken place the Council have organised events to show their appreciation with the next to take place at:
• 11th December 6pm Bedwellty House, Tredegar NP22 3XN
• 17th December 6pm General Offices, Ebbw Vale, NP23 6DN
The events are informal so that anyone thinking about future litter picks can come along and find out more about what is involved, the equipment used (all supplied) and how you can help. The events bring everyone together in a welcoming environment for a chat and there is a buffet and John will be there to answer any questions.
If you are unable to attend but wish to volunteer for Litter Picks in the new year, please contact:
