Blitz an Open Space

In the week before Christmas our team blitzed the Great North Road from Salisbury Road up to the Service Station and left 12 full bags of litter on the corner of Radwell Lane for our friends at the local council to pick up. We finished the session with a welcome cup of tea at Greggs, ending a successful year of keeping the Baldock streets tidy. Thank you to all those involved from our volunteers, council staff, equipment donors, local councillor and the group leaders. Happy new year!

Helping the community

Last month we shared some of our picking equipment with Osbourne Court in Baldock so their residents could help clear litter in the local area. Good luck Jo with your litter picking!

Letchworth Scouts

On the evening of Thursday 5th September Brian and I held a successful litter picking session with a large group of Letchworth Scouts at Baldock Road Park. We collected nine bags of rubbish in one hour before the daylight disappeared. A special thanks to Ryan of FB Chain Ltd who donated a new supply of litter pickers for our use.

Baldock Update

After searching for litter around Baldock, not enough could be found to send teams to clear up.

Letchworth Gate

On Saturday 11 May, 7 of us picked litter along Letchworth Gate and collected 18 bags of rubbish. However, it was from the longabout that we collected 13 bags of empty wine bottles which I estimate contained some 350 bottles! This brings the total bags collected in both Letchworth and Baldock to 1520.

Litter pick at Letchworth Gate Feb 2024

On 10 February a collection along Letchworth Gate produced 23 bags of litter. These contained 20 glass wine bottles, most were empty but some contained a liquid that smelt like urine. All the bottles

Litter collected

This is a fantastic local group who have 4 teams of very dedicated litter pickers operating weekly in Letchworth and Baldock. Since September 2020 they have collected 1,460 bags of rubbish!
