Doncaster litter pickers' dismay as rubbish dumped again weeks after clean-up
A group of Doncaster litter pickers have spoken of their dismay – after a patch of land they helped to clear just three weeks ago has once again become a dumping ground for rubbish.
Bex Marshall and her team of volunteers were upset to find the land near Denaby Cemetery had once again become a hotspot for fly-tipping, just days after undergoing a huge clean-up.
She said: “We litter-picked an area that we did only three weeks ago.
"It was really sad to see how much litter and fly-tipping has occurred in that short space of time.
"We got 10 bags in half an hour. The council is facing a real fight to keep some areas clean.”
Earlier this month, the same team of litter pickers cleared 20 bags of rubbish from a part of Doncaster in just two hours.
The dedicated team cleared the litter from around the park area in Oswin Avenue, Balby, braving miserable winter weather conditions.
