Thank you so much to everyone that headed out onto the foreshore of the River Thames for our Plastic Pollution Beach Clean.

The skip was provided by Ahern - they are a fantastic comprehensive waste management service for East London and South Essex.
Not only do they hire skips - once they collect it they will then separate and recycle appropriately, they have:

Thank you everyone!
We couldn't have done this with out the help of SC Johnson. RSPB and SC Johnson are working together to take action on the issue of marine plastics through a programme reaching over 300,000 people in 2019 and 2020. This work is possible due to their generous support.

It's free, but please book in advance (by emailing rainham.marshes@rspb.org.uk or call 01708 899851) so we know what size boots to get for you!
