Watermead Clean Up
Bakers Waste help clean up local beauty spot
After the Leicester Mercury highlighted that parts of Watermead Country Park, near Syston, had become littered with debris, including dumped road signs, plastic bags and toys, Bakers Waste Services Ltd contacted the Mercury offering to help.
Judy Collingsworth, business development manager at Bakers Waste, offered to send a team to collect and recycle items.
She said:
"We read about the problem in the paper and thought we should do something. We're a local business and we want to help a beauty spot. We'd like to send a crew down to do a litter pick and recycle the items. We'll need to inspect the site first to see how many people would be required to clear it all up but we're happy to do it free of charge."
