Litter picking groups
Thank you to everyone who volunteers their time to clear litter from areas. Here’s some information on local groups that we’re aware of who run regular activities if you’d like to get involved.
Sylvia's Community Clean-ups
We run clean-up events every Monday around Farnworth, Kearsley and Stoneclough. The pet project is the subways at the Farnworth exit from St Peter's Way. We have provided litterbins which are emptied by volunteers, and the subways are litterpicked and swept several times each week.
If you care about this area and would like to join us in making a difference we would love to hear from you!
