Acting and Campaigning
against Litter and Graffiti in Ecclesfield Village
| 2010-08-21 Summer litter pick. Everybody is invited to join us starting outside the Co op at 10:00. |
- We will be outside the Co op for the Summer Litter Pick at 10 a.m. on 21st August, 2010. Gloves
and litter pick sticks will be provided, but sensible clothing should
be worn, and any children should be accompanied at all times. If anybody has any
ideas on what areas to "scrub" or pick, you can email
us on the link below, or discuss it on http://ecclesfield.wikia.com/Scrubbers.
- Spring Litter Pick was on 17th April, 2010.
- The Ecclesfield & Grenoside Community Safety Group have asked
that any drug sharps [I.e. needles] be reported to Sheffield City
Council Streetforce on 2734567 [rather than attempt to dispose of them yourself].
- Battery recycling: Morrisons
Supermarket have
told us that their new in-store battery recycling bin takes
zinc, alkaline, and mercury button cells; as well as rechargable (e.g.
phone) Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries, and the old Nickel
Cadmium (NiCd) cells.
It is especially important for very old batteries and all button cells
to be kept out of incinerators/landfill, to keep their brain-toxic
mercury out of our food. (A battery recycling box has also appeared in the Co op on the High Street)
- The autumn litter pick is scheduled for Saturday 17th October
2009.
Meet outside to co-op at 10:00. The old garage site, renamed "St.
Mary's Green" isn't looking bad, but we might pick Ecclesfield Park and
Green
Lane.
- A mini-litter
pick has
been arranged for Monday 20th July 2009 - Meet
outside the stocks at 10:00 am to clean up the area being judged for
Ecclesfield in Bloom.
- Our
Summer litter pick is scheduled for...
Saturday 25th July 2009 at 10:00 outside the
Co-op.
- Don't
rely on it for meeting dates etc. but there is now an unofficial
Scrubbers site with photographs of the mini-litter pick on Saturday
20th June 2009 at http://ecclesfield.wikia.com/Scrubbers
