siousxiesue Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Odd request maybe.I'm really enjoying the wild planting down by Green Dale (from Townley Road) but I'm dismayed at the amount of litter!Has anyone got a litter picker I could borrow, probably by leaving it outside your front door, as I'd like to tidy as I walk, but can't bend!

Rumbero Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Couldn't you just buy one? They're very handy and not particularly expensive. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/252351-litter-picker-stick-thing-got-one/#findComment-1418394 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigello Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 If someone can borrow rather than buy then do so. There is enough waste already - she is trying to get rid of it so borrowing a picker seems entirely fitting. Good on you - I pick up cans and bottles often and can say I have seen fewer of them because there has not been the footfall and the schools have been shut. Hopefully the mobile middens that pass as buses will be a lot cleaner these days.

MrsR Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 There may be less cans and bottles discarded but the amount of PPE discarded on pavements and by kerbs is disgusting. Have see blue plastic gloves and paper face masks everywhere.

But it sounds like the OP might be public-spirited enough to be considering voluntary litter-picking on a more regular basis, in which case it might be unnecessarily complicated to put out a request on the EDF, or elsewhere, every time. Thanks for teaching me a new word though - 'midden'!

The terribly ugly flats at the top of the Greendale, off Wanley Road, next door to the Mother Goose nursery was once a thriving local pub called the Greendale.

siousxiesue Posted May 14, 2020 Author Share Posted May 14, 2020 I remember that pub! Although the spelling seems interchangeable from Google maps (Greendale) to Southwark Council (Green Dale) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/252351-litter-picker-stick-thing-got-one/#findComment-1418789 Share on other sites More sharing options...
