 Litter pickers from KINCA, Amey and Sheffield City Council
A group of dedicated volunteers from Sheffield took part in a big clean up this week in support of a national drive to rid local communities of litter.
Members of KINCA (Kelham Island and Neepsend Community Alliance) organised a socially distanced litter pick on Wednesday to help clean up their area as part of the Great British September Clean.
The campaign, which runs from 11th - 27th September, is being organised by Keep Britain Tidy and supported by the council to encourage residents to help make a difference to litter levels this September.
For the fourth time since the campaign started, the council is offering support to those who get involved in litter - picking activities whilst adhering to the current guidelines on social distancing, by picking alone or with small groups of like-minded volunteers.
The dedicated group spent the morning clearing hotspot areas around the river, Neepsend and Kelham Island, collecting seven bags of litter as they went. Joined by council officers as well as Amey operatives, volunteers cleaned their own chosen patches and socially distanced at all times.
