The sun shone on us for Saturday’s Bulwark Community Centre litter pick, with 11 volunteers including some very welcome new faces.
Our routes took us around Bulwark, especially the alleyways, and along the link road between High Beech and the motorway. We gathered 4 bags of general waste, 4 of recyclable plastics and cans, and 2 of glass… as well as a broken chair, a wheel and 4 cans of oil!
Next month (June 24th) we are crossing the river to meet at the Wye Valley Greenway Car Park (NP16 7FW)… should be a real treat to see the wildflowers along the Greenway.

Nice litter picking weather tomorrow! 10 am Saturday 25 May @ Bulwark Community Centre … don’t forget your gloves!

Looking forward to being back at Bulwark Community Centre for our May litter pick, next Saturday 25 May from 10 till 12 ish. Meeting at Bulwark Community Centre, Laburnam Way, NP165RF.
As usual, all are welcome including children with a responsible adult. Equipment is supplied but please bring a pair of sturdy gloves.
If you haven’t been before, why not give it a try? Good exercise, good company and surprisingly enjoyable, as well as nice to make the world a tiny bit cleaner and safer.

How lovely!

An overcast sky and a light drizzle did not deter 10 volunteers turning up at the allotments off Strongbow Road on Saturday morning. Great to see some new faces & hope weather did not deter you!

Splitting into small groups, we picked along the Coast Path into Garden City & towards Thornwell. Also worked the roads around Bulwark and the shops.

A total of 2 orange bags of general litter 4 bags of plastic/cans and a few glass bottles.

Next month we will be meeting at Bulwark Community Centre - details to follow

We cleared up around the garage, along the A466 in both directions, down the A48 towards town and along the streets towards Mathern Road. See the picture of the alleyway behind the garage after the team had finished with it.

We covered quite a lot of ground, including the link road, the rugby club and Bulwark shops. Altogether we collected 7 bags of plastic and cans for recycling, 8 bags of general waste and 2 of glass.

Many thanks to all the volunteers and to Bulwark Community Centre for providing a nice warm space for coffee and mince pies afterwards.

Perfect weather for the 8 adults & 2 children who met at Tenby Lane car park for a spot of urban litter picking on Saturday morning.

Splitting into groups we once again tackled the streets around the Caerwent Tunnel and Thornwell. The wooded area off Lewis Way was relatively litter free apart from the usual 'grot spot' which revealed a considerable quantity of glass bottles, cans & plastic..the most collected in this single spot over many years that the group has worked this area.

Totals..5 purple bags of plastic/cans, 4 bags of general litter & 7 bags of glass!.

Thanks again to everyone who turned up to help. Our final pick of 2023 will be on Saturday 25 November meeting at Bulwark Community Centre.

👍LOVE WHERE YOU LIVE 👍
