Rubbish Networking, a series of community-driven litter picking meet-ups, is returning for 2023.

It offers an opportunity to engage in a fun and friendly litter picking experience, and a chance to meet like-minded individuals who share a passion for the environment. 

There are three events planned for this year, with the first to take place at Seaclose Park in Newport on June 30, between 10am and 12pm.

The second event will take place at Ryde seafront on August 25.

The third is at Northwood Park on October 27.

Gloves, bags, and all the necessary equipment will be provided by the event’s sponsor, Betapak.

Everyone is welcome to join, but must register. Go to www.eventbrite.com/d/united-kingdom--isle-of-wight/rubbish-networking/
