CAMBRIA Litter Pickers

DEDICATED learners brightened the day of students and staff at Coleg Cambria.

The four-strong group – Zoe Boothman, Sarah Astbury, Gracie Gee, and Andrei-Alexandru Bordea ā€“ joined the collegeā€™s Estates team in litter picking across Deeside and Deeside Sixth Form sites to mark World Clean-Up Day.

Together they collected more than 12kg of non-recyclable and recyclable materials, having been supported by waste management company Veolia, which has sites across the UK including Wirral and Ellesmere Port.

Cambriaā€™s Sustainability and Environmental Specialist Sophie Hughes-Saunier thanked them for supplying the group with litter pickers, refuse sacks and PPE (Personal Protection Equipment), and for joining them on the day.

ā€œIn just 30 minutes the team collected 9kg of non-recyclable waste and 3kg of recyclable materials,ā€ she added.

ā€œThanks to everyone who got involved, and to Veolia for their kind donation and helping us with the clean-up.ā€
