Bags of rubbish collected by litter group in Morpeth

With the size of the team, it took just one hour to complete the litter blitz in the town centre and 44 bags were collected.

Morpeth’s Keep Britain Tidy Ambassador, Dai Richards, said: “We moved a very large empty carpet roll that had been discarded for four months or more, a bike frame and many other items.”

The regular litter picks began in January 2018 after members of the Greater Morpeth Development Trust and Morpeth Lions became aware that a number of community organisations and individuals in the town were already undertaking voluntary, but random, tidy up operations.

To co-ordinate those already involved, a decision was taken to organise a series of regular community litter picks across the town – under the Morpeth Litter Group title.
