Last group pick with the wombles for a while but we got 25 bags off our area plus loads of cans for #helipadsforhospitals and some other grot that wouldn’t fit in bags.
Back to solo ‘exercise’ picks again for a while. Stay safe all #dontbeatosser #sllw #talkingrubbish

@AylesburyWombl1 @KeepBritainTidy Hi Aylesbury wombles. Just out of interest what do you save your cans for? We are saving ours for the helipad!

@nwslc_official @Kezbec44 Must just be engineering then

@nwslc_official can you confirm wigston campus have closed all classes today

[South Leicestershire Litter Wombles @SLLWombles]

@Oadby_Wigston The parks thing is weird OBWC. No other councils have done this. The kids are all hanging out in car parks and Bell St. Also people use willow Park as a cut through for work and this considerably adds time to your commute. In a time when we are supposed to be walking or cycling!

[South Leicestershire Litter Wombles @SLLWombles]

@Oadby_Wigston And two households are not allowed to meet at the pub. Good to see that pubs are checking this. We had our table cancelled on Saturday. Fully understand they must do this.

We struck litter-picking gold this morning, on a community #GBSeptemberClean with @TandM_Greens, finding an impossible-to-believe 456 cans in just one bush in #Tonbridge town centre. Lots of determination & bramble wounds later, they've all been safely recycled @KeepBritainTidy

[Sophie and Brandon's Corona Diary 💙 @SophiesCoronaD1]

In 17 days I have collected 168 bags of rubbish as part of my pledge to pick for @KeepBritainTidy #GBSeptemberClean
I will continue to #litterpick everyday on my way to school or at the weekend with my brother & sisters to help my community and the environment.

@picupglobal @litterati Just uploaded the 21 pics of different PPE spotted and binned on our usual litter pick walk, mostly from East Bank N16 @plasticfreehkny @jonburkeUK

[Keep Splott Tidy @KeepSplottTidy]

As Cardiff approaches another lockdown, we'd like to thank all our volunteers who went out to clean our streets of Splott between April & August. Despite us being unable to go out as a group, this didn't stop you! Just check out these stats, you are all simply fantastic! 💙💙

@JennyaCarter @Oadby_Wigston @BlabyDC Could have been a womble!

[Jenny Carter @JennyaCarter]

To the volunteer litter pickers making @Oadby_Wigston and @BlabyDC a nicer place, who I saw out early this morning during my morning run, you are fab.

[South Leicestershire Litter Wombles @SLLWombles]

Brilliant job! Thank you.

[Oadby & Wigston BC @Oadby_Wigston]

Our refuse collection teams would like to thank the residents of #Oadby, #Wigston & #SouthWigston for their support during #Covid19. Some of you have been leaving rainbows🌈 on your bins & clapping👏 as they continue their duties which is fantastic. #StrongerTogether #StaySafe

[Keep Blackburn Tidy🚮 @BlackburnTidy]

Hope everyone is well after 2 weeks of #lockdown. Please, as the weather warms up, #StayHome. Mental health is important and an hour #walkingfromhome is OK, kids burn energy, parents get breathing space and its good to be a #naturelover. #LoveWhereYouLive. 221 bags this week.

[PicUp @picupglobal]

#litterpicking almost impossible atm in London due to #coronavirus measures, unless on your own & with protective equipment. Looking forward to starting up again soon!
We hope all our followers are staying safe, wherever you are in the world. @litterati @KeepBritainTidy #picup

On a side note so many people have followed over here in the last 24 hours (about 600) that we've broken the rules of Twitter. As such, we are barred for 3 days from retweeting or following. Bloody companies and their rules, please RT this for us 👍.
