Monday morning felt like the beginning of Autumn as the morning was noticeably cooler. The litter picking regulars Ceiling, Richard and Paulin quickly settled into the usual routine.

This morning we also welcomed Allie. Whilst Allie was new to this series of litter picks at Burgess Park, it turned out that she was a litter picking expert! In particular, she introduced us to an app, Planet Patrol. It is used to collect logs the types of litter that are found from litter picks across the world. Then, this data gets used for researchers and used as evidence to help tackle the problem. We'll try to use it on our next litter pick on Thursday!
