Join one of our Green Clean events

31st August 2018

We’re giving Peterborough a green clean! To celebrate the upcoming deposit return system for bottles and cans in England, we’ve organised four litter picking events in the city. We hope you can join us!

 

The goal is straightforward: to collect as much rubbish as possible to get your countryside looking the way you want it. We’ll be recording the quantity and type of rubbish found with the hope of feeding this information into the development of solutions to England’s litter problem. Our amazing Green Clean reverse vending machine will make an appearance at the 25 September litter pick.

So don your community spirit and come on out! We’d love to see you!
