What nine Bodmin litter pickers found in just 75 minutes

Two tyres. A shopping trolley. A seat cushion. And that was just the bulky stuff.

A team of nine volunteers set off from College Lane in Bodmin into a strong wind, and in one hour and 15 minutes they had pulled together a pile that took up a decent stretch of grass.

What they found

The Bodmin Tidy it Team filled 10 bags of rubbish and another 8 bags of recycling during the session.

Alongside the bags came two tyres, a pot of paint, a large plastic container, cardboard, a trolley, a seat cushion, a nitrous oxide canister, vapes and batteries.

The group said it found huge amounts of rubbish in some places.

Thanks also went to Clean Cornwall and Biffa.
