Neilston and Uplawmoor Litter Pickers

Here's our numbers from 2024!

@chrislunday98 One of our group walked round Barrhead tonight and the litter is really an eyesore. Is there anything can be raised at appropriate comm council or similar around this, looked like seagulls emptying bins on Main St not helping. Can collections be increased?

Lovely night for a litter pick ☀️ 2 people, 1 hour, 3 bags. Usual haul of Tennents cans from the car park, and endless plastic bottles and cans.

Sadly cancelling tonight's litter pick due to forecast heavy rain and potential lightning. So much for summer!

We are restarting our midweek litter picks, dates below, first one next week!

Fellow volunteers also out in Uplawmoor and some others picking across the weekend!

Great sunny morning for monthly litter pick, contributing to @KSBScotland Spring Clean. Also testing out our new flag!!

Our next monthly litter pick focusing on #springcleanscotland (sneaking it in on the very last day!). @KSBScotland @PFOKane

This looks great, can't wait to have a look in detail! Local approaches work so well ❤️

We will be tying our end of April monthly litter pick (28th) in with #springcleanscotland and hope to add an extra targeted pick on Sat 27th too!

@CoopLindaM we are pleased to be able to purchase equipment for our volunteers in Uplawmoor for them to have access to it to litter pick whenever they want!

Final 2023 count. Our monthly litter picks and ad-hoc picks by members have collected 217 bags, which has taken around 148 volunteer hours. Thanks to those who have supported, we hope next year there's less litter but expect we will have more bags unfortunately!

Reminder for your festive food shop if you are a Co-op member you can select us as your cause! Details below!

@chrislunday98 @PFOKane @kirstenoswald

Excited that we are part of the Co-op Community Fund for the next 12 months and you can select us as your cause if you are a Co-op member! We would be very grateful if you did, allowing us to continue our litter picking activities. @CoopLindaM @coopuk #itswhatwedo

We had our AGM last week and shared this handout with those that came, showing our activity in the year up to end August 23

We noticed this the other day. A lot of people had concerns about McDonalds opening and associated litter....hopefully this helps make a difference 👍 (tho don't drop it in the first place!)
