Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council has launched a volunteer map to help residents join local clean-up groups.
Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council has organised events to celebrate volunteer litter pickers who keep neighbourhoods, beaches and green spaces free of litter. The council has launched a new volunteer map to help residents join local clean-up groups. The Mayor of Redcar and Cleveland met volunteers on 20 and 22 October and presented them with a 'Thank You' banner donated by Graphics Solutions.
South Gare Litter Pickers now has more than 40 regular volunteers, five years after its founding by Matt Stilwell. Mr Stilwell said the group has inspired people internationally, reporting that he has been contacted by people from America. Other recognised groups include Marske Litter Action, Grangetown Revival and Keeping It Clean at Saltburn (KICAS). In Carlin How, a small group of residents has spent 15 years keeping the village tidy.
