WREXHAM AND FLINTSHIRE SAY ‘NOT UP MY STREET’ TO FLY-TIPPING.

Keep Wales Tidy has joined forces with local authorities and housing associations across Wales to launch ‘Not up my street’ the second phase of their national campaign to tackle Fly-tipping. A host of events will be held across Wales this year, for tenants to learn new skills, save money and dispose of their unwanted items correctly.

We have been working in partnership with Keep Wales Tidy this spring for two flagship clean-up events in both Wrexham and Flint, calling on local tenants to dispose of their unwanted household items correctly.

Over the two days, Keep Wales Tidy were joined by Wrexham and Flintshire Clothing Exchange for a swap shop encouraging tenants to repair and reuse their unwanted items. Benthyg Cymru showcased useful things that tenants in the community could make use of lending, whilst local organisations Abbey Upcycling and Refurbs via Groundwork North Wales promoted their services, stopping good quality items ending up in landfill.

LOCAL LITTER PICKS ALSO TOOK PLACE ON BOTH DAYS ALONGSIDE BRYNTEG AND CORNIST PARK PRIMARY SCHOOLS, ENCOURAGING LOCALS TO KEEP THEIR AREAS CLEAN AND FREE OF LITTER.

“ We know how important green and clean spaces are for people and we were more than happy to join Keep Wales Tidy and their ‘Not Up My Street’ campaign.”
