Whenever TMAEG volunteers do an environmental project we remove and dispose of any litter. We reckon that a cleaner environment reduces the dumping of litter. But litterbugs are still around as we’ve seen at the start of 2022.
Our Ash Brook, the stream which runs through the Local Park was hit by thoughtless individuals who dumped the remains of their ready meals into this pretty, green corridor.
Here (above) is the mess as seen from the High Street.
TMAEG volunteers descended to the stream bed (shown above), helped by that blue rope and retrieved the rubbish.
Here (below) is some of it displayed on the Redway prior to despatch to the Recycling Park.
TMAEG volunteers also do litter pick-only sessions. Here, our team has just completed a morning’s work at the Clay Hill end of the Local Park.
Six Bags of Rubbish to be passed on to Milton Keynes Council. Two years back the yield would have been twice this. Progress by the two Councils and TMAEG – but still some way to go!
