Starting TODAY (25 March), our annual link road litter pick kicks off! 🌿🚯 Over the six weeks, our devoted waste and recycling crew members will tackle the A361, starting from Aller Cross roundabout and heading towards Witheridge and Rackenford. Post-link road, we aim to tidy up the dual carriageway to Braunton.

Spot our team in high-vis gear ensuring their safety as you drive by. We kindly ask for your caution and reduced speed in the area.

The cleanup isn't just about aesthetics; it's about fostering a cleaner, healthier community. 🌟 Last year, our team bagged 510 bags of litter, recovered 14 metal pieces, 4 wooden pieces, 6 discharged tyres, plus a camper van fridge and fridge freezer!

Let's all play a role in keeping our district tidy. 🍃 Refrain from throwing rubbish out the window or leaving it roadside; take it home and dispose of it responsibly. Thank you! 💚

Thank you to everyone who turned up to help with our litter pick this afternoon which was part of the Great British Spring Clean.

👷 We had 13 helpers.
🚗 Several passers-by gave us a morale-boosting “Thank you”.
📍 We collected 15 bags of rubbish.
♻️ We retrieved two roadside recycling boxes…
🍾 … One we filled with collected glass bottles.
🧱Several bags of rubble which had been fly-tipped will be reported.
🪙 We found $0.25 (US quarter)
🧻 The toilet roll evaded us! (In joke!)

🚮 Keep Britain Tidy

Our early Spring litter pick focussed on Town Walk and the streets around lower Newport, Barnstaple.
The necessary kit was kindly supplied by Barnstaple Town Council.

Thank you to members of our Newport RAP Team for clearing lots of litter, an abandoned trolley, and a broken hifi in just over an hour today (Bank Holiday Saturday).
And the sun shone! ☀️
