  • March litter pick

    Yesterday saw the regular monthly community litter pick in Bristol’s Barton Hill, which takes place on the first Saturday of each month.

    The team dismantled one fly tip and bagged it up for collection by Bristol Waste along with our ‘swag‘, which will be collected – hopefully speedily – by Bristol Waste.

    Afterwards we retired to the Wellspring Settlement for light refreshments.

    Thanks to my fellow pickers for tidying BS5.

    See you next month on the 5th!
