Volunteer litter pickers were in action again last weekend collecting 90 bags of rubbish from woodland adjacent to Moulsecoomb Way.
The event was organised by dog walkers Lee Juney and Amanda Wright, supported by Brighton & Hove City Council ranger Garry Meyer, from the Tidy Up Team, who provided equipment.
A team of 15 volunteers spent two hours clearing piles of litter that had built up in the woods.
Rubbish found included car wheels, a car seat, car bonnet, and enough carpet to furnish a small flat!
Volunteers working with the council’s Tidy Up Team have collected nearly 200 bags of litter from across the city this month.
Future events include Great British Springclean litter picks taking place in green spaces across the city on March 3-4.
