About Wombles

Our litter picking team undertake monthly litter picks on all roads and lanes within the Chardstock Parish, covering a whopping 34 miles between them each month. There are 14 Womblers who have been cleaning up for the last four years. One sharp eyed volunteer found no fewer than 12 gin bottles thrown into the same hedge! They recovered 35 large sacks of litter on their first outing. These days, littering is less of a problem. Everything collected is recycled where possible, and fly-tipping is reported to East Devon District Council.
