Litter picking hubs – a great idea!

Sixty two community litter picking hubs are now available across Glasgow – in parks, schools and at some coffee shops.

Equipment, including bin bags and litter pickers, can be used by anyone keen to do a litter pick in their area.

This is a great initiative by Glasgow City Council and we asked Dundee City Council’s Head of Environment if this could be replicated in Dundee.

He has responded positively as follows :

“Yes, I agree that this is a very positive initiative and it would be good to emulate with a similar scheme within Dundee.

Grateful if you could please leave this with me to take forward with officers at the next Take Pride officers’ meeting.”
