Litter picks - Wednesday Warwick Wombles

Wednesday Warwick Wombles was launched in January 2023 and involves monthly lunchtime litter picks across campus for both staff and students (aged 18 and over).

Sessions normally take place on the third Wednesday of every month for approximately one hour. Each month we target a different area of the campus in response to where our assistance is needed the most, to ensure we maximise our impact. The meeting point will be emailed to everyone who has registered for that particular month’s activity.

During litter picking, we tend to leave the roads and footpaths and may walk on more challenging surfaces. However, we welcome anyone who needs a more accessible route, please just let us know on the registration form.

Bags, gloves and pickers are provided but please bring your own if you have them.

Sign up for the next session NOW and earn a point towards the Warwick Award after attending three litter picks. Registration will open for the next month after the end of each event.
