Its hard to believe that, there's nobody out there.

Its hard to believe we've all been at home.

And our City of Oxford, is covered in rubbish.

Lonely no more as, we picked some today

Under the Bridge in our town

GoodGymers picked away

Under the Bridge we found

This rubbish could not stay

Under the Bridge Downtown

On such a sunny day

Rubbish in Rivermead

We took it all away

Away

8 GoodGymers cleared up a mountain of rubbish under the Southern Bypass in Rivermead Nature Reserve, Rose Hill. There was a big selection of rusty bike parts, engines, cans and frying pans, mouldy coats and sleeping bags. We often find pants on litter picks, this was no exception.. but this time we came across possibly our first bra (I think)! More cans, bottles, a supermarket trolley it went on and on I'm glad we shifted it! Well done to everyone who lugged it up the hill to the ring road and across to our collection point

We inspired a local Rivermead resident Laura to do her own pick also nearby at the allotments she got 2 big bags and a broken chair to add to our collection :)

Another Trevor collected the rubbish (I'm always amazed to find them!), and we reckon about 50 big bags, plus a load of metal things.. so a big haul!
