The Mess Collectors

Local litter picking group

@Asdalongeaton Thank you! Someone will be in touch soon.

11 bags of litter removed from Bridge St up to Granville Ave. These are really long roads and I think we might need more volunteers to adopt them so there's more help to those regularly cleaning them. Please comment below if you can help to keep this part of Long Eaton clean.

Are any of our wonderful members free Tuesday 3rd August to join staff from Long Eaton McDonald's for a litter pick? It starts at 9.30am. Young pickers and families welcome to join. Thank you 😊

On Saturday 29th May we are asking as many of you as possible to wear your blue high viz jackets and go out litter picking in your adopted area to raise awareness about our group and the launch of the UK Spring Clean. See Facebook for more details and to post selfies.

Group picks are back!! The regular Sawley group litter pick will be at 10.30am on the first Saturday of the month and the Long Eaton one the same time on the third Sunday of the month.

Keep an eye on ITV this Thursday at 7.30. The programme focuses on 'Britain's filthy streets'. Mess Collectors have provided information and video footage so we may get a mention. Either way it should make interesting viewing.

47 bags of litter plus 2 fly tips dealt with by our team of intrepid volunteers this morning. There's more to do but we really made a difference today. We were filmed by ITV so should be on after the news between 5-7pm tonight! Thank you everyone for your efforts today.

In February our members collected approximately 600 bin bags of litter from the streets, verges, woodlands, rivers and parks in Long Eaton, Sawley, Toton, Draycott and Breaston. #keepbritaintidy #lockdownlitter @ErewashBC @broxtowebc

@Beaky75 Hello. There is an organised litter pick in Sawley this weekend.

@Beaky75 Hello. Organised group picks haven’t been happening due to the pandemic but will hopefully be happening again soon. Dates, times and locations will be tweeted. Thank you 🙏

@nancypants77 @LongEatonLife The @MessLong have been trying to clear this all week. Everytime they have gone down and sorted it out, it has ended up in a mess again. Today it was cleaned and then within a couple of hours rubbish had been put into donation bins. ⬇️ This is just one day of tidying.
