A Rubbish Drag Race
2 GoodGymers made their way to help their local community in Luton.
- Sunday, 3rd of October 2021
- Led by David Mansfield
As part of the maintenance of the Warden Hill Meadow as a nature reserve, a couple of thickets needed thinning out of overgrowth to preserve the grassland and make features of a few of the trees among them.
These thickets had become a flytippers dumping ground and we had to clear the rubbish out to make space for the Luton and Dunstable Conservation Volunteers to get to work cutting back the vegetation.
A fridge, two armchairs, some doors, a wheelchair, pallets, laminate flooring, a BBQ and lots more random things were pulled out and dragged down off the meadow to a nearby road for collection by the council.
The fly-tippers had gone to a lot of unnecessary effort to get to their dumping site, so it was a lot of effort to get it out again!
