A merry band of volunteers have now spent more than six months on a mission to keep the town they love free of litter.
The Love Lowton litter pickers have been meeting weekly to don their gloves and keep Lowton’s streets looking clean.
This group have volunteered hours of their time to the cause, making friendships and chatting to grateful locals along the way. They’ve also found it a great way to keep up their fitness, clocking up plenty of steps and enjoying a sociable, outdoor activity.
And the good news for all of us, is that since they began their weekly litter picking sessions in April 2025, the group have removed a whopping 228 bags of litter from the streets, parks and verges of Lowton.

So what’s next for the Love Lowton Litter Pickers?
Now the group would love a few more volunteers to join their ranks, helping them increase the areas they can cover and make even more of an impact on the town.
They meet from 9.30am – 11am on the first and third Monday of the month, and on the second and fourth Wednesday.
Litter pickers, gloves, high-vis vests and refuse bags are all provided – all they need from you is to spare an hour of your time when you can – you do not need to commit to coming along every week, but if you can – great!
