The Abibinit litter pickers were in action this morning on the Ock Valley Walk, clearing away all the rubbish the floods left behind. They must have filled at least 20 bags! A big thanks to them, especially so soon after all the water chaos.
There are still some signs of the flooding, though. The river has some logs and fallen trees floating around. But the good news is there is now very little litter.
Well done to the litter pickers, thank you.
The combination of windy weather plus bin collection days is never a good combo – I think most of the litter on our estate gets caused by wheelie bins being blown over, though a number of people are mindful of picking loose rubbish up when they see it so it is pretty tidy.
You can get a strap to fit on the wheelie bin to secure the lid incase it blows over, but I’m concerned the bin men might remove the strap, or it’ll get caught in the lorry mechanism.
