Two-minute Litter Picking station installed in Radcliffe On Trent

A public litter-picking station which allows residents to safely, quickly and cleanly dispose of discarded litter has been installed as the first of its kind in Rushcliffe.

The facility in the grounds of The Grange in Radcliffe on Trent has been introduced by Rushcliffe Borough Council (RBC) as part of the national #2minutelitterpick campaign which aims to enable groups and individuals to make simple changes that contribute to the wellbeing of themselves and the planet.

The campaign, which was founded in 2013, was introduced by The Two Minute Foundation and focuses on the use of direct action to empower, educate, inspire community litter pickers who want to make a difference over and above the authority’s regular litter picks across the Borough.

The station consists of litter pickers, reusable waste bags and hand sanitiser alongside safety instructions and the reusable design allows the pickers and bags to be returned to the facility for others to use.

The Council’s Streetwise team are overseeing the stations which will be further rolled out in due course and Radcliffe on Trent Parish Council were pleased to support the first station, with the aim of helping people to keep the village even cleaner.
