15 Sep Litter-picking with Liberty Global!
Hammersmith BID is working with local businesses to keep Hammersmith tidy.
Litter-picking days are part of our sustainability commitments and support the Keep Britain Tidy Campaign, which believes every action to protect the environment, no matter how small, makes a difference. Our goal is to inspire people to eliminate litter for current and future generations. Hammersmith BID aims to permanently change behaviour by spotlighting the problem and offering creative solutions for improving the environment on everyone’s doorstep.
We believe it is people’s right to live and work in places they can be proud of, leading us to join #LitterHeroes from all over the UK.
As part of our Green Volunteering Programme, Hammersmith BID organised lunchtime litter-picking activities with volunteers from Liberty Global on Tuesday 13th September, and Wednesday 14th September. Volunteers met outside 3 Shortlands, W6 9DA for a quick briefing before heading into the town centre to clean areas including Hammersmith Road, Lyric Square, Hammersmith Grove Parklets, the Novotel area, Planters under the Flyover, and St. Paul’s Green.
A huge thank you to our 5 enthusiastic volunteers at Liberty Global who removed 9 bags of litter from the town centre, containing several large items (including a red decorative bow and a misplaced shoe), 66 cans, 82 plastic bottles, 30 bottle tops, and 400+ cigarette butts!
Alongside our Litter-picking events, Hammersmith BID also offers more Green Volunteering opportunities throughout the year. If you would like to be involved, or for more information contact the BID team at a.altenausmith@hammersmithbid.co.uk.
