Hi Eileen, you can find advice about doing your own litter picking here: cleandevon.org/get-involved/ While Teignbridge District Council do offer equipment/bags for community litter picks, we would suggest reaching out to them directly to see whether they would be happy to loan them to an individual: teignbridge.gov.uk/help-and-acces… 😀

@RecycleDevon @SouthHams_DC As an individual litter picking can i receive bags and borrow equipment? Teignbridge

Devon’s local authorities have over 400 litter pickers available to borrow, 365 days of the year! There is more to litter picking than picking litter. 💚 👉 cleandevon.org/get-involved/ #cleandevon #litter #greatbritishspringclean #keepbritaintidy #lovewhereyoulive @SouthHams_DC @eastdevon @WestDevon_BC @MidDevonDC @ExeterCouncil @torridgedc @Teignbridge @CAGDevon @devonclimate @nfusouth @EnvAgency @dartmoornpa @devonwildlifetrust

♻ Top Tip Tuesday ♻ ❌ When we put things in our recycling 'just in case', it may do more harm than good, cause contamination and add extra costs - it's called 'wishcycling'. ✅ If you're not sure, please check what your council collects for recycling, you can find out here: recycledevon.org/at-home/recycl… #toptiptuesday #wishcycling #reducereuserecycle @SouthHams_DC @eastdevon @WestDevon_BC @MidDevonDC @ExeterCouncil @torridgedc @Teignbridge
