🚮 Weekly Update 🚮

Hello Treforest 👋

✅ This week we strayed out of our usual Treforest territory and did a quick litter pick around by the Maritime football pitch on the Graig.

✅ Also did the length of Cwrch y Gwas Road and then yesterday somebody ran over a black bag and the rubbish went everywhere! Oh well, can't win them all 😄

✅ Don't forget you can always help us and help your community by doing a 2-Minute Tidy of the pavement in front of your house! Remember when your nan used to keep the front looking fresh and clean?

Thank you for your support ♻️

Thank you for not littering ♻️

🚮 Friday Update 🚮

Hello Treforest 👋

✅ As we are now at the end of term and houses are being refurbished etc, we have been concerned that there may be an increase in rubbish being dumped, like we've witnessed in previous years in Treforest. This last week or two however RCT Streetcare have had extra officers in Treforest and they are knocking doors, educating residents and if necessary issuing fines.

✅ We, as a litter picking group, are extremely thankful for any extra help that will make our job easier.

✅ Let us know if you think your part of Treforest is looking tidier recently. Or if not let us know and we may be able to help. We are planning a few midweek evening litter picks through the summer months, finishing with a pint in the Otley Brewpub & Kitchen.

Thanks for all your support ❤️

Hello Treforest 👋

What an awesome day!

I lost count but I think we had close to 30 volunteers turn up today.

🚮 We cleaned up all the streets from the Otley Brewpub & Kitchen down to the Tin works. Meadow Street is sparkling 💚

🚮 We also got a gang into the river Taff, courtesy of a collaboration with Groundwork Wales and pulled out so much metal and plastic.

Thanks to Meadow Street Community Garden for hosting us and the wonderful event they put on today!

And to everyone who helped our community today, I want to say a massive thanks!

✅ Treforest is looking so much better ✅

Your Weekly Update is back 😁

Don't worry Treforest we are back on the streets after our mini break!

✅ Yesterday, I was down below the Broadway checking the lanes and parks and they are not too bad. However, behind the takeaways could do with a tidy up again. Also somebody has dismantled a Dyson in Lewiston Park, by our favourite hotspot, the bench. All tidy now though.

✅ Today I went up Stow Hill to have a look at the football pitch bags and they were empty and the area was looking great in the sunshine. Result!

✅ If you need a new handbag there's one been dumped on Laura Street. Get there quick before it goes!

Keep Treforest Tidy!

🚮 Check us out on Instagram, come and help us down the River this Sunday, or if you just keep the pavement in front of your house clear, that would help a lot!

Thanks for your support ❤️

We are so excited to be collaborating with Treforest Litter Pickers this Sunday. We will be meeting at Meadow Street Community Garden and getting in the river Taff at 1000 until 1200.

We will be removing waste and litter from the river, but also pulling up Himalyan balsam from the banks. By removing polluting rubbish and invasive plants we can have healthier rivers. If you wish to join in and help clean up our river then we would be thrilled to see you.

We will be providing waders (let us know your shoe size and we can ensure that we have enough ready), safety equipment, expert supervision and plenty of enthusiasm.

For more information and to sign up, contact Jack at [email protected] or call 07512 964523

Please share with your friends! Thanks 👍

Hello Treforest 👏

Don't forget this coming Sunday we are meeting at Meadow Street Community Garden as part of their Wellbeing Day event.

We will be doing our regular pick in the back lanes and hedges etc. but we will also be teaming up with Jack from Groundwork Wales and getting in the river Taff to give it a proper clean up!

Waders available for the adventurous!

If you want to help in the water then send us a PM with your shoe size and Groundwork will provide you the waders!

It's going to be a lot of fun 😊

♻️ This is not our usual type of message.♻️

🚮 This is a plea to anyone in Treforest who is moving out, clearing out a rental property or to anyone who is thinking of dumping your rubbish in the lane or on the pavement by your house.

🚮 Do the right thing

🚮 Be responsible for your rubbish.

🚮 Dispose of it properly

This year the community has worked harder than ever to Keep Treforest Tidy and in the last week our residents are starting to see the rubbish being cleared out of properties and some of this is ending up in our public places. Blocking pavements and lanes.

This is a kick in the teeth to all the volunteers who give up their spare time to help the community.

This is totally unacceptable behaviour and we are not going to take it anymore!



🚮 If you're reading this and have dumped rubbish or are thinking of dumping rubbish then it's bang out of order. The community is asking you to be the better person and do the right thing for Treforest.

And finally, a message to the residents who do care, and we know there are loads of you because we meet you every single day we are out litter picking, photograph what you see and report it. Please. I know it's a pain in the backside but it helps, it really does.

Report it to:

- RCT

- The letting agent

- USW

- Steve Powderhill

- Tell us and we will help

We CAN do better Treforest. Together we can challenge this behaviour and stamp it out.

Support us in our quest for a tidier Treforest 💚

Cheers
