House builder launches community litter pick campaign in Collingham
and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
Miller Homes will use its sales centre there as a hub for the initiative launched on World Clean Up day which takes place on 20th September. Litter pickers, hi-vis vests and eco-friendly refuse bags will be available to use for anyone wishing to partake.
“Our residents take pride in their homes and where they live and this means our communities are places that people really want to live in,” said Debbie Whittingham, Regional Sales Director, Miller Homes Yorkshire. “By providing some necessary equipment it means anyone can borrow the pickers and vests and use them whilst out maybe embracing the sustainable trend of ‘plogging’ – litter picking whilst walking or jogging.”
