11 Sep Green Volunteering: Litter Picking with 10 Hammersmith Grove and One Queen Caroline Street
The team at 10 Hammersmith Grove and One Queen Caroline Street joined Hammersmith BID for a morning of litter picking. The volunteers were briefed outside 10 Hammersmith Grove before heading to Hammersmith Grove Parklets, Hammersmith Road, Shortlands and Talgarth Road for a 2-hour litter pick.
Thank you to our 11 enthusiastic volunteers who filled 10 bags of litter containing 200+ cans, 100+ bottles, 3 disposable vapes and over 2,000 cigarette butts.

Get Involved
Hammersmith BID works with local businesses to support the Keep Britain Tidy campaign. We facilitate litter-picking sessions and other green volunteering opportunities as part of our sustainability commitment. Every act to protect the environment, no matter how small, makes a difference. The campaign inspires people to eliminate litter for current and future generations. Green Volunteering can help permanently change behaviour, spotlight the problem and offer creative solutions.
Volunteers keep a tally of cans, plastic bottles, glass bottles, vapes and bulky items they collect throughout the litter picking event. The BID team gathers these figures at the end and reports them via the Keep Britain Tidy website.
We are proud to join #LitterHeroes across the UK, working with employees to create a cleaner and greener Hammersmith.
