Plastic Fantastic - In It to Bin It ๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ๐Ÿ†

Tuesday 10th March

Written by Yianny (he / him)

GoodGym Lambeth Run Report ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’จ Four the Love of the Planet! ๐ŸŒ

Well, well, wellโ€ฆ what do we have here? Not ONE, not TWO, not THREE, but FOUR shiny new faces joining the GoodGym Lambeth crew this week! ๐ŸŽ‰

Thatโ€™s right โ€” we didnโ€™t just pick up litter, we picked up people too. Welcome to the fold, Treena, Paul, Dann & Kirsty, who clearly decided that finishing a long shift at work just wasnโ€™t quite enough suffering for one day. Respect. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ๐Ÿพ

The Task: Not a Twozy. Not Even a Threezyโ€ฆ Wait, Actually Yes a Threezy. ๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ This weekโ€™s mission was an absolute trash of a good time (in the best possible way).

We went full triple-threat with: ๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ GoodGym classic litter picking ๐ŸŒŠ Planet Patrol ๐Ÿงด The Big Plastic Count The goal? Grab as much recycling and plastic as humanly possible and give our community a well-deserved glow-up. And boy, did we deliver.

Several black bags filled to the brim and safely recycled โ€” thatโ€™s not just good deeds, thatโ€™s re-MARK-able work. You could say we really bagged this one. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿคฉ

The planet is cleaner, our legs are tired, and our hearts are full. See you next week โ€” and Treena, Paul, Dann & Kirsty, youโ€™ve got no excuses now. You already know weโ€™re worth the post-work schlep! ๐Ÿ˜Šโค๏ธ

Keep running. Keep doing good. Try not to step in anything suspicious. ๐Ÿซกโ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹

๐ŸŽ„ The Tree Amigos !!

Tuesday 13th January

Written by Yianny (he / him)

GoodGym Lambeth Group Run Report: The Tree-quel! ๐ŸŒฒ

The Return of the Pines

Last week was so pine that we decided to spruce up our schedule and do it all over again! Welcome to our second group session of 2026, and honestly this is one of our absolute favourite missions of the year.

Weather Report: Stormy with a Chance of Dedication โ›ˆ๏ธ

Mother Nature clearly wanted to separate the saplings from the mighty oaks, serving up some properly dark and stormy weather. Our turnout was trimmed down to the hardcore trio of tree-rescuing legends: Tilly, Ben & AA Yianny ๐Ÿค—

These three werenโ€™t going to let a little wind and rain leaf them at home!

Mission: Operation Needle Drop ๐ŸŽ„

We raced around Clapham on our Christmas tree treasure hunt, seeking out the poor abandoned pines whoโ€™d been cast out post-festivities. Seems like some people really struggle with the grief of de-tree-ment - we found MORE trees piled up than last week! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Clearly the โ€œNew Year, New Meโ€ crowd forgot that applies to their living rooms too.

The Haul ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ

By the end of our festive cardio session, weโ€™d successfully relocated:

  • 5 Christmas trees (may they rest in compost)
  • A pile of mystery logs (seriously, who leaves logs on Clapham streets? We may never know, but we yew-nited them with the recycling spot anyway!)

All trees and timber are now safely on their way to be composted by the council. From tinsel to topsoil - the circle of life continues! ๐ŸŒฒโ™ป๏ธ

Verdict

Wood we do it again? Absolutely! Until next time, stay evergreen, GoodGym! ๐ŸŒŸ

Remember: Tis the season to be jollyโ€ฆ and to recycle responsibly! ๐Ÿพโ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹

Cap-tain Cleanup and the Bottle Top Busters! ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’ช

Tuesday 2nd December 2025

Written by Yianny (he / him)

GoodGym Lambeth Run Report: Operation Bottle Top Takedown ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’ช

Where: Max Roach Park (where the bugs roam free, but the bottle tops donโ€™t!)

What: Community clean-up with a side of cardio


The Mission ๐ŸŽฏ

We were cap-tivated to be back at Max Roach Park this week, answering the call from Tom at Lambeth Council for another epic bottle top crack down! Because apparently, bottle tops are like glitter โ€“ they get EVERYWHERE and refuse to leave the party. ๐Ÿพโœจ

The Squad ๐Ÿ’ช

Tonight we had the fantastic four: Dan, Adam, Michael, and Ben absolutely crushing it (or should we say, trowel-ing it?). Thanks so much for turning up, guys โ€“ you really are the tops! ๐Ÿค—

The Action ๐Ÿงน

Tom rolled out the red carpetโ€ฆ well, actually he rolled out the trowels, dustpans, brushes, black bags, and high vis vests โ€“ basically the Lamborghini of cleaning equipment. We felt VERY fancy. ๐Ÿฅณ

Our mission: tackle the areas around the bins (because apparently thatโ€™s where all the party fouls happen). We collected:

  • A couple of kilos of cigarette butts (gross but someoneโ€™s gotta do it! ๐Ÿšฌ)
  • Heavy loads of bottle tops (we can't cap our enthusiasm)
  • Various other debris that thought it could hide from us (spoiler: it couldnโ€™t)

The Plot Twist ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

In devastating news, we completely binned our sweetie treat tradition tonight. We forgot them! But fear not โ€“ this means DOUBLE treats next time! ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿซ

Your teeth have been warned. Your taste buds should be excited.


Until next time, keep running, keep doing good, and remember: weโ€™re not just picking up rubbish but getting our fitness on as well so for another week โ€“ weโ€™ve bin there, done that! ๐Ÿ—‘๏ธโค๏ธโ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹

Fast Feet, Clean Streets!!

Mission: Operation Windrush Sweep! ๐Ÿงนโœจ

This week our legendary crew tackled the rubbish problem at Windrush Square (see what we did there? ๐Ÿ˜). Armed with trowels, dustpans, black bags, and one trusty broom, we went full CSI: Litter Squad to give the square the deep clean it deserved!

The Highlight Reel: ๐ŸŒŸ

๐ŸŽ‰ The Return of the Legend! After a 5-year hiatus (we're not saying he was having a long nap), Harry made his triumphant comeback! We were so excited we almost threw confetti... but then remembered we'd just have to pick it up again. Welcome back, Harry! ๐Ÿป

๐Ÿฆธโ€โ™€๏ธ Our Core Crew of Champions: Fi, Dan, Tilly, and Michael (aka the Treat Master ๐Ÿง) showed up ready to sweep the competition. You absolute legends knocked it out of the park (and the litter out of the grass)!

We popped bottle tops, nabbed broken glass with military precision, and generally showed that litter who's boss. Tom from Lambeth Council sends his thanks โ€“ the square is looking rubbish-free and gorgeous!

Pun Score: 10/10 would pick again! ๐ŸŽฏ

Same time next week? Let's keep the good times rolling and Lambeth cleaning! ๐Ÿ’š

Chunked & Loaded - Litter-ally !!

๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ GOODGYM LAMBETH RUN REPORT ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ

This week's mission: Litter Pick Bingo and Plastic Patrol! ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ

TRASH TALK ๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ Our lovely crew proved that one person's trash is another person's...well, recycling! We gave an old favorite a new twist and honestly, it was RUBBISH (in the best way possible)!

Armed with bags and the Plastic Patrol app, our heroes combed the local area like environmental detectives, picking up every piece of recyclable waste we could find. We bagged it, logged it, and made sure it all ended up in the right bin. Because sorting is our cardio! ๐Ÿ“ฑโ™ป๏ธ

PICK OF THE BUNCH ๐ŸŒŸ Huge shoutout to our usual cast of legends: Fi, Katie, Ben, and Tilly - you absolute trash pandas! ๐Ÿฆ We love you guys! Your dedication to keeping Lambeth clean while getting fit is truly un-RUBBISH-able! ๐Ÿค—

STATS ๐Ÿ“Š Keep your eyes peeled on the WhatsApp for our full haul - spoiler alert: we absolutely cleaned up! ๐Ÿงน

THE AFTERMATH ๐Ÿป As if picking up litter wasn't rewarding enough, tonight was a RUNNER MANDATED SOCIAL (the best kind of mandate, let's be honest). The whole crew headed to the pub afterwards to raise a glass to our success. Cheers to making the world a better place, one pint and one piece of plastic at a time! ๐Ÿป

Same time next week for more fitness, friendship, and doing good!

โ€œBin There, Done That: A Cap-tivating Adventureโ€ ๐Ÿพ

Tuesday 30th September 2025

Written by Yianny (he / him)

GoodGym Lambeth Run Report ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธโœจ

Mission: Operation Deep Clean at Max Roach Park

This week, our magnificent mob of do-gooders descended upon Max Roach Park for what can only be described as a rubbish time (in the best possible way)! ๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ

Tom from Lambeth Council gave us our marching orders: wage war on litter with the fanciest grabbers this side of the Thames. Weโ€™re talking haute couture litter pickers, darling! ๐Ÿ’…

The Great Divide

Our troops split into two elite squads:

Squad 1: The Litter Legends ๐Ÿฆธโ€โ™‚๏ธ
Armed with our premium picking equipment, we swept through the park like a well-oiled cleaning machine. No crisp packet was safe. No stray cup escaped our grasp. We came, we saw, we picked it up.

Squad 2: The Bottle Top Battalion ๐Ÿพ
Meanwhile, the bench crew got down and dirty (literally), performing emergency surgery on the ground to extract embedded bottle tops. Talk about getting to the root of the problem! Their determination was truly cap-tivating. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ

Our Cast of Cleanup Crusaders

Shout out to our usual suspects who showed up ready to make Max Roach Park sparkle:

๐ŸŒŸ Andrej, Dan, Tilly, Michael, Eric, and Jo ๐ŸŒŸ

Special mention to Jo, whose homemade flapjacks provided the perfect fuel for our litter-fighting endeavors. Nothing says โ€œcommunity spiritโ€ quite like baked goods that actually stick to your ribs after picking up rubbish! ๐Ÿช๐Ÿค—

The Verdict

Another week, another park saved from the scourge of litter. We came for the fitness, stayed for the bins, and left with that warm fuzzy feeling that only comes from making your community a cleaner place (and maybe from Joโ€™s flapjacks).

Until next week, keep running, keep doing good, and remember: every piece of litter picked is one step closer to a trashy-free Lambeth!

Total Trash Talk: MAXIMUM ๐Ÿ“ˆ
Good Deeds Done: COUNTLESS โœ…
Puns Made: TOO MANY ๐Ÿ˜„


Keep calm and carry on picking! See you next week, legends! ๐ŸŽ‰
