- Always maintain a minimum of one metre distance from other people to avoid any accidents. This is roughly the length of your picker.
- Never pick up sharp objects, including needles or glass. Report to North Northants Council if found.
- Don’t attempt to move large items or clear up fly tipping, report to North Northants Council if found.
- Don’t put yourself or others at risk, avoid rivers and busy roads.
- Do not litter pick private land unless you have permission and they have agreed to dispose the litter you collect.
- Inform Wellingborough Eco Group/Wellie Wombles and North Northamptonshire Council where your collected litter bags have been left so that they can be collected. This can be done on our Bag Report page.
- When using, borrowing or returning borrowed equipment, make sure that it has been checked and accounted for. If there are any issues with equipment please report to the person who checked it before use.
- Bags need to be left on the verge of a public highway, not next to a bin or on private land, as this could be reported as fly-tipping.
To report the location large items, fly-tipping, hazardous or sharp objects, report on our Fly Tip page or call North Northamptonshire Council on 0300 1263000. Alternatively you can use apps. Alternatively report fly-tipping via ‘Fixmystreet’ and to report an abandoned trolley use ‘Trolley Wise’
Unfortunately Wellie Wombles cannot accept responsibility for loss or injury whilst litter picking.
