Glasgow currently has a network of 70 plus Community Litter Picking Hubs which support local communities to tackle local litter issues. These hubs provide free loan kits containing litter pickers, disposable gloves, high visibility vests, bag hoops, refuse bags and provision of a designated refuse uplift after an event on request. The Hubs allow local business, groups and schools to easily access equipment and keep their neighbourhoods cleaner and safer.
Communal stairs - what is YOUR responsibility? Tenants and residents are responsible for cleaning up any spillage and litter in between cleaning days.
Residents must ensure that landings, stairs and entrances are kept clear of items such as prams, bikes, bulk items, etc.
If you would like more information on borrowing one of our kits please contact our office. Glen Oaks also organises community litter picking events, usually monthly, so even if you don’t want to borrow the kit yourself you can join us at one of our events. Taking time to look after your neighbourhood benefits the whole community and helps to create a brighter, cleaner, and greener environment for everyone to enjoy. Charity No. SCO34301
