What are litter picks?
Litter picks and beach cleans is a great way to care for our local area and wildlife. We have been hosting and supporting litter picking events ever since Transition began in St Andrews. They take place on the beaches and waterways to just about anywhere in St Andrews where someone wants to do a clean-up.
Get involved!
Any litter picks we are aware of will be posted on the events below.
If you are looking to run your own and needing a litter picking kit, our Tool Share can help! If you are already a member with Tool Share, book it out and collect it in your own time from the Student’s Union or St David’s Centre. As the kit is free, it is the only Tool Share item you can loan out using a Bike Pool membership which won’t cost you.
Measuring the Impact in 2022
This year we are putting more attention to recording the impact of litter picks all over town. There are plenty of individuals and groups running events but no one putting all the figures together. Here are the numbers from the events we are involved in or made aware about.
Join this Teams group to record your numbers, share events and find support in running your own event: Litter Picks St Andrews
