Little Litter League Leys collect 700th litter bag!

Muhammad Ismael

The #littlelitterleague launched a new neighbourhood litter pickers group in Leys, Dagenham East and instantly achieved a new milestone during their very first activity.

The residents group debuted at Tyrell Gardens, Leys Children’s Centre and reached 700 full rubbish bags with their session haul.

The activity was co-ordinated by resident Muhammad Haque of Barking & Dagenham Universal Services in partnership with #littlelitterleague Captain Emdad Rahman.

Speaking after reaching 700 Zoinul Abidin, Head of Universal Services, Barking & Dagenham and a regular litter picking volunteer commented, “We had a nice small group today and they did a marvellous job. We have already identified some hotspots within the locality and the sight of the youngsters and their parents out cleaning will have a profoundly positive effect on the whole community.”

Muhammad Haque added, “Both my daughters joined us so today has been a special day. They will be really proud to learn that they’ve helped the #littlelitterkeague reach 700 bags.”

Emdad Rahman concluded, “The perfect planet is Earth and it is our home. Through modelling and raising aspirations we can leave our world in a better condition for our future generations.”
