Hundreds of people supported Mansfield Rotary Club’s call for its litter-picking volunteers are taking part in the Great British Spring Clean in June.

The national initiative mirrors the Rotary club’s own Just Bin It campaign to clean-up the neighbourhood.

More than 320 people have been given litter-pick tools by the club and regularly clear rubbish and litter from parks, roadsides, pavements, schools and more.

The project has been so successful that Warsop and Shirebrook; Kirkby; and Sutton Rotary Clubs are to set up similar schemes.

In June, Mansfield Rotary Club asked people to commit to a litter pick near their home as part of the Great British Spring Clean and post photographs of their work to social media to encourage others to come forward.

Some volunteers also joined litter picks organised by parks friends groups and others, including one at Rufford Country Park, which was joined by several Just Bin It volunteers.

Among recent litter-pickers were members of Mansfield Marians WI, pictured top, who went to King’s Mill Reservoir and collected two bags of rubbish on their walk around the water.

Mary Barks, who is supporting the Mansfield Rotary Club Just Bin It project, was one of several volunteers who joined a litter pick at Rufford Country Park as part of the Great British Spring Clean.
