Litter picking is more than just a good deed – it's a way to help protect the environment and the local community. At SciQuip, we understand the importance of maintaining a clean and healthy environment, which is why we do a litter pick around our local area once a month.

Why We Litter Pick

Litter is not only unsightly but can also be harmful to wildlife and the environment. Litter can contain harmful chemicals, such as plastic, which can leach into the soil and water. Litter can also be a danger to animals, as they can ingest it or become trapped in it. 

By litter picking, we can help reduce the amount of litter in our environment, keeping it safe and clean for everyone, including wildlife.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

We believe in the three R's: reduce, reuse, recycle. Litter picking is an effective way to reduce the amount of waste in our environment. By picking up litter, we can prevent it from ending up in our rivers, oceans, or on the side of the road. We can also reuse and recycle items that we find during our litter picks, such as plastic bottles or cans.

Helping the Local Community

Litter picking is a great way to give back to the local community. By keeping our environment clean and healthy, we can create a more pleasant and safe place to live. Litter picking can also bring people together, as we work towards a common goal. SciQuip is proud to be part of a community that cares about the environment and takes action to keep it clean.

Looking After Local Wildlife

SciQuip understands the importance of protecting and preserving wildlife. That's why we have also built things like bird boxes, owl boxes, and a wildlife pond. By removing litter from their habitats, we can reduce the risk of harm to animals, allowing them to thrive in a clean and healthy environment.

Conclusion

Litter picking is an important task that benefits everyone. It helps to reduce waste, protect the environment and wildlife, and bring communities together. Join us in keeping our communities clean and healthy!
