Unusual discovery for Crewe Clean Team during March litter pick

Shares

 

Members of Crewe Clean Team have been out and about on their monthly litter pick this weekend – with one slightly unusual item picked up amongst the usual hoard of discarded items.

24 members of the group gathered on Oak Street at around 10am on Saturday (18th March) and spent an hour and a half tidying up the area.

It was their 111th litter pick, where – amongst many other things – they came across a discarded Donald Trump doll, leaving some to wonder if it might be an omen.

Rumours are currently circulating that the former US president is due to be arrested on Tuesday over alleged hush money paid on his behalf to porn star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 presidential election.

Back in Crewe, the group filled an impressive 41 bags of general rubbish and a further 14 bags of cans which will be sent off for recycling.

Unfortunately, however, the group say they find a number of cans that are so rusty they simply disintegrate as soon as they’re picked up.

The volunteers also retrieved more than a dozen tyres from the bank beside The Duke of Bridgewater pub.

As well as this, they’ve removed detritus that had built up along the bank beneath Edleston Road at the corner where it meets Oak Street.

 

 

After an industrious morning, the volunteers were able to put their feet up for a bit in Crewe and Nantwich MP Kieran Mullan’s office – where they were warmed up with teas and coffees.

Dr Mullan is an active member of the group and has been out several times with the volunteers.

This week’s outing was the Crewe Clean Team’s first litter pick during Keep Britain Tidy’s Great British Spring Clean campaign for 2023.

 

 

It also coincided with the week of Red Nose Day, and Crewe Clean Team always uses this as an opportunity to raise money for Comic Relief.

They’ve set up a Justgiving page which is still accepting with donations.
