Its hard to believe that, there's nobody out there.
Its hard to believe we've all been at home.
And our City of Oxford, is covered in rubbish.
Lonely no more as, we picked some today
Under the Bridge in our town
GoodGymers picked away
Under the Bridge we found
This rubbish could not stay
Under the Bridge Downtown
On such a sunny day
Rubbish in Rivermead
We took it all away
Away
8 GoodGymers cleared up a mountain of rubbish under the Southern Bypass in Rivermead Nature Reserve, Rose Hill. There was a big selection of rusty bike parts, engines, cans and frying pans, mouldy coats and sleeping bags. We often find pants on litter picks, this was no exception.. but this time we came across possibly our first bra (I think)! More cans, bottles, a supermarket trolley it went on and on I'm glad we shifted it! Well done to everyone who lugged it up the hill to the ring road and across to our collection point
We inspired a local Rivermead resident Laura to do her own pick also nearby at the allotments she got 2 big bags and a broken chair to add to our collection :)
Another Trevor collected the rubbish (I'm always amazed to find them!), and we reckon about 50 big bags, plus a load of metal things.. so a big haul!
