Over Hulton Litterpickers | Thursday 14 March 2024 | 0 Comments

The trolleys you helped us to get only made their first public appearance yesterday! They are brilliant! Thank you so much.
We managed to buy seven superb litter-picking trolleys for the brilliant volunteers in our “Clean & Tidy” litter-picking team

Our volunteers go out at least once a fortnight cleaning up the environment by picking up detritus. As the bags get full they become heavy and cumbersome, especially in wet weather. Now the bags are on wheels! 

Each volunteer has been allocated their own trolley which will be their responsibility. They have been told there will be regular “inspections”. A comment from one of them was “Gosh I feel really important now!  

Our volunteers already do a fantastic job keeping on top of litter in our community. Now their task has been made so much easier, enabling them to do an even better job and cover a lot more ground. 

Here are some comments from residents made on our Facebook page –

“The trolleys help a great deal. No lifting and carrying - helped the left shoulder very much! Thank you Green Umbrella, much appreciated.” Pat
“Absolutely spot on and thank you so very much for all that you do for the community.” Jan
“Brilliant. Hope it makes the tasks of our volunteers a little easier.” Jude
“Well done to all. We drive along the A6 often and it makes such a difference. I’ll give you a toot next time I see any of you with your trolleys! Thank you.” Maureen
