Love Bolton Hate Litter

02/10/2026

🌳 Good news - need your help 🌳

I have my hands on some warning stickers to try and prevent flytipping next to public bins - if you have any particular public litter bins in your area that people always flytip at, please get in touch on [email protected] and let me know 👍

I don't have an infinite number so I will only be targeting the worst ones for now, but hopefully these help and I'll be able to get more soon 🥳

Well done lads 👍

WHAT A GREAT BUNCH OF LADS!
We (the Community Group) were approached to provide some sponsorship for the Under 15 Tyldesley Boys Waterpolo Team who have entered a tournament at Manchester Aquatics on the 5th September which will cost £150 to enter. Two of the team live in Over Hulton and we were delighted to help out. In return the lads offered to do some litter-picking. They chose to tackle the Pretoria Ruins footpaths. As you can see it was chucking it down on the day they went! Amongst other things they found a wicker basket, a tricycle, a grill and some nappies! Ever so well done Young Men and Good Luck on the 5th! The two Over Hulton lads are next to the Memorial, James and Alistair (second and third from the right). Look at how many bags they filled!
