Litter picks are taking place around Manchester to celebrate Her Majesty the Queen’s 70 years of service. Keep Manchester Tidy, the partnership between Manchester City Council and Keep Britain Tidy, will take to the streets with local groups by hosting 70 litter picks in a project called The Platinum Picks.
After hundreds of volunteers got involved in the Great British Spring Clean, and following calls for more litter picking events, Keep Manchester Tidy are embarking on the challenge to complete 70 litter picks in the Queen’s jubilee year. The Platinum Picks program will launch at Queen’s Park, Harpurhey, at 11am on Saturday 21 May.
