Great British Spring Clean litter pick
Removing discarded litter and waste
Location
St Peter's SquareManchester
M1 5AN
Date and time
18:15 - 20:00We will meet up on Monday at the regular meeting point outside Manchester Central Library in St Peter's Square (What3words: ///goats.note.darker).
The Great British Spring Clean is taking place 21 March - 6 April so we'll be doing our bit to help reduce the amount of local litter and discarded waste in the Manchester City Centre. We will be walking for the litter pick.
I have council-provided bags, litter pickers, and a contact for arranging pick up of any litter we collect. I have a couple of pairs of gardening gloves, but if you have some, please do bring them along. If you have any high viz or lights, that would be helpful too.
We will stay to well lit areas and stay together as a single group for the duration. If you know of litter hotspots within a short run/walk from St Peter's Square, let us know. Provisionally, we will help remove litter at green spots near Ardwick (e.g. Greek Street or near Mancunian Way/A6).
