Litter picking in Thame

Litter picking in Thame has a long and successful history. ‘Thame Tidy’ days used to be delivered by 21st Century Thame, followed by the creation of Thame Wombles who were established in Thame during the first Covid-19 lockdown in 2020.

Today you can get involved in the following ways:

• purchase a litter picker, grab a bin liner, and head out to see what you can find. Make sure you take care – and the guidelines given by Keep Britain Tidy are worth reading to make sure that you dont pick up anything dangerous, or that you are not allowed to put in your own black bin when you return home with the bag you have collected.
• register as a Duke of Edinburgh volunteer. Although the majority of the work you do will need to be self-led, with parental permission, Thame Town Council can provide support for you to do this by providing equipment and signing off the hours you do. Please contact us through the form here and someone from TTC will contact you.
• by organising a Business Litter Pick. If you are interested in doing this then the place to go is here. The will be able to provide you with all equipment you need and arrange to pick up the litter you collect.
• support a Thame event – any community events will want to support you

We would LOVE to know where you have been litter picking and share about it on our social media channels – so if you do a litter pick, please let us know where using the contact form.
