Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Cleaning our streets of litter through the power of twitter (and HOL)
Not on Twitter (and don't want to be) and want to join in, add your contribution below and I'll tweet it for you!
Keep Britain Tidy are organising a #Twitpick on Wednesday 17th November
The “Twit pick” will involve asking people to each pick up one piece of litter and then tweet what they have collected.
Litter pickers will then be rewarded with a shout out from Keep Britain Tidy on Twitter telling the rest of our followers what a great job they are doing.
This will be the second time the event has taken place and the charity is hoping that it will be the biggest one yet.
Nicola Peate, digital media co-ordinator said: “Our last ‘Twitpick’ was a huge success leading to over 50 pieces of litter being removed from the streets of England including nine cans, six plastic bottles, cigarette packets and a pizza menu.
“We were delighted with the reaction from followers who responded brilliantly.
“It is a great way to empower our followers to not only show that they ‘follow’ Keep Britain Tidy but to actually do something about it and get involved with the world’s only online litter pick”
Reaction from the last ‘Twitpick’ included tweets such as “I love this idea: @keepbritaintidy updates of litter items being binned by diligent tweeters” and “I’m liking the @keepbritaintidy campaign to encourage us to pick up litter when we see it rather than walking on by”.

Well, I can't disagree with you but if you think that your street needs an extra clean, please report it via the report a problem and specify that you want leaves swept. The other day, the area around the school was knee deep in leaves, I requested a clean and the street cleaners were out next day clearing them up.

I have done just that - thanks Liz! It's the street I walk on every day but is also used by lots of kids/parents for the local primary school. Useful to know the council has that report a problem page.
Thanks again.
