In the aftermath of Storm Darragh, three GoodGymers Stefanie, Peter, and Ben brought their sturdy gloves to pick up the litter left in its wake. With bag rings, litter pickers, and strong pink sacks from Keep MCR Tidy, we made the short jog from St Peter's Square to start litter picking from Deansgate.

On our way, we found numerous cans and bottles plus plenty of filled coffee cups that have gone to waste. We found a still tagged plaid shirt, too much McDonalds waste to keep track of, and a decent wellington boot. With the high winds over the weekend, it probably wasn't a surprise that we found 4 discarded umbrellas and the wet weather made the bin bags quite heavy by the end!!

Following the tracking of the bin bags using What3Words, we were able to pass on the locations to Keep MCR Tidy to ensure they are collected successfully.

Always a good and useful backup task through the winter months. Keep an eye on our sessions for a possible Christmas social run next week and for sessions during the January Challenge coming up in the New Year!
