Mike The Litterpicker

I thought I would set up a litterpicking twitter , check out my instagram for more litterpicking, graffiti cleaning and community work. Happy to follow litterpicking twitters

A random Morrisons trolley found far out on Parkland here in Aldridge. A type designed for use with wheelchairs sadly. It was full of old food waste there had been some camping by here possibly from that. These are not being locked up at night sadly. I cleaned and took it back

I've been cleaning this messy alleyway in Walsall for some time now, so I'm not surprised to find a right mess after my holidays. Cleaned it up but needs all trimming back and sweeping but got too much to do at the moment

This is for people to see that even Tokyo has flytipping and litter, see how much these guys collect, next time folk swear that places like this are immaculate due to folk being better and more respectful, it's nonsense, humans equal mess , the key is if it's clean up

No one in the countryside in Madeira, the beautiful picnic and camping grounds needs to throw litter - but they do. I still collected BBQ waste like bottles and cans even with all the bins

Look how the single sticker here has cause UV damage to the sign beneath, it's all off, the scribble is off and the reflective surface is UV marked. If only it had been took off months before. I did this ages ago but when I saw it it was the first time I'd been up here in years

It's that poo bin again!! Here in Walsall, it's on a path to a loclake and woods. Well used, but of course, no one empties it. It's surprising how compacted and heavy dog poo can be. The stench is unimaginable! Good I only need to get it up the road in the car to a bin pick area

Quite unusual here in Walsall Town to be alerted to new scribble on a bit I only painted on this derelict pub on Sunday. No worries went and painted it off #zerotolerance

Cleaning this scribble off a bus stop - it looks better of course but even more so that this is over the road from the council Chambers. A main bus route too. I can't seem to get council to realise how the optics of the Town appears to visitors

Glad get one of my placed bins cleaned up now I'm back from holidays I can get a grip of it. At least its in one place!

6 bags collected of a lay-by in Aldridge I look after. I cleared bins I've placed and deep cleaned the area. Looks great now after my holidays

This wall had been untouched for a few years in Walsall, then this was scribbled. Like many toddlers they can't stay in the lines. I didn't do it all originally as I didn't have the paint then. Here it began to rain so left the last bit on the bottom.

Stickers or *slaps* are an issue here in the UK but in Europe its a major issue. Mostly football Ultra fans related they were even on the Madeira sign on the seafront in Funchal the capital. I had my mini scraper but lack height. Got it off though!

We don't have to live in a tatty dirty town street or city, it's not inevitable it has to be this way . We can clean up and restore, we can defeat vandalism.

One of many tags that appeared in Walsall while I was on holiday. Quick coat of magnolia and it's fresh again. Last did this in 2023

Of course we have flooding now in Walsall with the torrential rain. Of course the drains are blocked in places. Found this and cleared it out today. Tedious inevitably about it

Back off holiday it's back to cleaning up here, visiting this layby with the several bins I have placed they've been hard used, but to be fair all the mess is in one place, this would have all been on the floor. Night time drinking here, takeaways etc. #litterattractslitter

Painting off a kiddy scribble outbreak here in Walsall Town centre today. Got to this as it was out the rain. Painted it before in early 2022, I'd wanted to refresh it, so this idiot scribbling gave me the chance. The Council Chambers are right over the road here. It looks better

A shop frontage I painted in Walsall Town centre yesterday. I'd touched it up the once and did a clean before this time a panel of paint. No time to do it all

So I got home from holiday having been alerted by a friend of new tagging all over Walsall Town centre. I'd painted this last year so sad to see it scribbled. But a fresh coat of magnolia & grey got a grip here. Zero tolerance is the only way

So my holiday with some litterpicking as usual is all but over. I did find while litterpicking 2euro , not paid for the holiday but always fun to find #Madeira
