Litter Picking with Keep Bury Clean

The first Exyte Hargreaves litter pick took place on Tuesday 6 August with the immediate area of focus the block around our Bury office. A small team volunteered, including two members of the Keep Bury Clean group. Furthermore, our maintenance team have been cleaning up the staff car park, with new netting installed to prevent litter from blowing into the space. At the time of writing over 20 bags of litter have been collected. There are plans to schedule a regular monthly litter pick as part of an ongoing maintenance plan.

Sustainability is a core value at Exyte Hargreaves and our efforts begin at home. We’re proud to be one of the oldest businesses in Bury and it is a shared responsibility to take pride in our local area. We’re thankful to the team from Keep Bury Clean for their support and assistance.
