Plastic-Free Hackney April Litter Pick

We're Back! Plastic-Free Hackney's Monthly Litter Pick Sunday 25 April From 10am (with staggered starts) Princess of Wales pub car park E5 9RB

Spring is upon us and the River Lea and surrounding canals are in desperate need of attention.

Plastic-Free Hackney are revving up for our first Monthly Litter Pick on Sunday 25 April.

Our litter picks are planned to be Covid Safe events - with groups limited to 6 people,  physical distancing and staggered time starts.

As ever, please come dressed in robust outdoor clothes with appropriate footwear (no open toed shoes). If it is hot, bring some water, sunscreen and a sunhat. We also request that all volunteers wear face coverings.

Public loos are not readily available. We advise that you 'go' before you arrive ;)

If you'd like to litter pick for the full 2 hours, make sure you book a ticket for the 10am slot!

Please note that it will be compulsory to book an Eventbrite ticket in advance of coming to the litterpick.

Below we've set out how we will be running the litter pick. Please do read through the outline on the Eventbrite page it since things will be different to how we've run them in the past.

Tickets are limited, so please do only book if you know that you're going to come. If plans change we'd be grateful if you could cancel your ticket so we can ensure as many bodies are out there as possible removing the pollution.

We know it seems like there are many hoops to jump through, but our canal is so in need of our attention and we are really grateful to you, wonderful volunteer warriors, for accepting these changes to our litter picks.
