Litter picks are taking place around Manchester to celebrate Her Majesty the Queen’s 70 years of service. Keep Manchester Tidy, the partnership between Manchester City Council and Keep Britain Tidy, will take to the streets with local groups by hosting 70 litter picks in a project called The Platinum Picks.
After hundreds of volunteers got involved in the Great British Spring Clean, and following calls for more litter picking events, Keep Manchester Tidy are embarking on the challenge to complete 70 litter picks in the Queen’s jubilee year. The Platinum Picks program will launch at Queen’s Park, Harpurhey, at 11am on Saturday 21 May.

The Lord Mayor Elect Councillor Donna Ludford and her Consort Councillor Sean McHale will be stopping by at 1pm to help everyone celebrate the start of the Platinum Picks in style. Keep Manchester Tidy and The Council encourage everyone to come down as there will be lots of fun activities, and even rides for young ones - as well as lots of litter picking! Residents of all ages are welcome to get involved in the Platinum Picks that will be running throughout the year. To ensure residents are kept in the loop, the events will additionally be listed on the Manchester City Council website.
The Council are also offering eager litter pickers the chance to rally their friends together and host their own litter picks as part of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations. In tandem with this, Keep Manchester Tidy will also host Platinum Picks for schools, community groups and local businesses- encouraging residents of all ages to get involved with litter picking in their local area.
