Drop in Volunteer (Smash Trash - East London Litter Picking)

Friends of Canal and River Trust, join us for litter-picking along the canals in East London!

We will do a roving litter pick from one lock to another, starting and finishing in two different locations.

Ensure you register your interest with each session you plan on attending to let us know you're coming. You will be provided with gloves, litter-picks, hoops, and rubbish bags.

All are welcome and children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult throughout.

There is a toilet and access to drinking water at the meeting OR end point, sometimes both. There are also some lovely cafes around the canal if you're looking for post-pick refreshments.

Please wear outdoor clothes you are comfortable in and sturdy footwear. If it's raining, do still join us in your best waterproofs! Hand-sanitiser and wipes are available at the meeting point, but you might also want to bring your own as you move along the canal to litter-pick. Remember you will also keep your belongings with you, so consider packing light.
