People in Malmesbury came together to mark Earth Day with a massive litter pick in their community.
Malmesbury Against Plastic co-ordinated the ‘Big Clean Up’ project, which encouraged residents to do their bit to clean up the town. The group was established to help reduce the town s use of single-use plastic, following the scheme organised by Surfers Against Sewage. Throughout Earth Day (Thursday, April 22) people collected litter across Malmesbury before leaving their collections at the Riverside Centre to be sorted.
Some of the collected rubbish Photo by Photo by Hattie Ellis Staff at Whatley Manor, which recently received a new green star in Michelin s 2021 list, also organised litter-picking outings around their hotel, including around Fosse Way and towards Easton Grey.
Can you help? Malmesbury s Big Clean Up to tackle town s litter problem To mark Earth Day 2021, Malmesbury are coming together to do their bit to clean up their town. A rise in litter has been noted throughout lockdown, despite the best efforts of numerous individuals such as eco-warrior Ben Thornbury. Until next Thursday (April 22) Malmesbury Against Plastic will co-ordinate the Big Clean Up project. The group was established to help the town reduce our use of single-use plastic, following the scheme organised by Surfers Against Sewage. In May 2020, the town was awarded the Plastic Free Community status, after several local business and organisations committed to reducing their use of single-use plastic and enabling their customers and users to do so also.
