The BBC Hereford and Worcester #ProudtoPick campaign was launched in May 2021 with the aim to mobilise the 2 Counties residents to pick up 8000 bags of litter across Herefordshire and Worcestershire this summer, that's one bag of litter for every 100 people in H&W.
Between Saturday August 14th and Sunday August 22nd the #ProudToPick campaign is hoping to encourage volunteers to help their local groups tidy up an area which has been ruined by litter.
Do you know about a grot spot? Could you nominate one? It could be a corner of a park or woods which has been used as a dumping ground, a section of river or an area tucked away where people have chucked their stuff for years.
Organise a clean up. BBC H&W will promote it, DWT can provide litter picking equipment through their loan servcie or ask your local councils for help and get as many volunteers together as possible. BBCH&W will come down and feature the clean up on the radio and, hopefully, send a presenter to help out!
Let BBCH&W broadcast journalist Nicola Goodwin know of your nominated grot spot and the preferred day for the clean up - details below.
Fill in a DWT Equipment Loan Form to book equipment to use for the days event.
Lets get those 8000 bags of litter off our streets and out of our green spaces!
