At the start of April, Woodhill Tenants and Residents Association organized a Community Clean-up Day for their area.
Supported by staff at Bury Housing Services, the clean-up day was a huge success with a large skip overflowing with rubbish within an hour. Waste Management services were there to provide advice on recycling and answer any questions on bin collections and local Police Community Support Officers attended to build links with the community group.
Bury Housing Services Caretakers worked all day to assist over 45 households dispose of unwanted items and local children by litter picking in the area which was greatly appreciated. Not all items were disposed of – residents were able to re-use and donate items such as bikes to those who wanted them.
Sarah Edwards, Chair of Woodhill TRA said “Thank you so much to Bury Housing and the caretakers who worked their socks off and went above and beyond to help residents clear rubbish and household items. There was much more waste than we ever expected so we hope to make the clean-up day a regular event to help those who struggle to get to the tip. We also want to build awareness to encourage more residents to recycle.”
