Monthly Litter Pick: A Surprising Find on the Common

The Friends of Horfield Common team were out again for our regular litter pick, doing our best to keep the Common looking clean for everyone. It’s something we do every month, and it always feels good to see the difference a couple of hours of teamwork can make... and it's a good chance for a catch up.
​
This time, however, our efforts uncovered something rather unexpected – what can only be described as the work of a repetitive fly tipper! Their discarded belongings were spread across six different spots on the Common, creating quite a trail of mess. While it’s disheartening to come across this kind of behaviour, it’s also a reminder of why these monthly clean-ups are so important. Every bag filled and every bit of rubbish removed helps protect local wildlife and keeps the Common a pleasant space for everyone to enjoy.

Due to the fly tipping, we didn't manage to get around the whole of the Common today, so, if you’d like to get involved and lend a hand, we’d love to have you join us so that we can do more. Keep an eye on the What’s On page for details of our next litter pick – everyone is welcome, and all equipment is provided. Together, we can make a real difference for Horfield Common.#
