A new programme of events involving Sussex litter picking groups is set to remove plastic and other kinds of rubbish from the river Adur.

The Ouse and Adur Rivers Trust is working with Strandliners to audit and extract pollution from the Ouse and Adur river catchments as part of the international Preventing Plastic Pollution project, OART.

Litter picks and brand audit workshops have been organised for locations in Hassocks (Wednesday, October 12), Steyning (Friday, October 14), Shoreham (Sunday, October 16) and Lewes (Tuesday, October 18).

Andy Dinsdale from Strandliners said “Litter picks cannot prevent plastic pollution on their own, so adding a mix of sorting, identifying and recording can build the data rich picture of our environmental plastic pollution, leading to actions for change.”
