Change Makers in Action!

05.09.24

Last week some of our Clean Cornwall team joined Brooks Estates for a beach clean event at Perranporth beach.

Brooks Estates are one of Clean Cornwall’s Change Makers and have been making amazing efforts to give back, and improve the environment. Last week they organised a beach clean of Perranporth Beach with The Cornwall Wildlife Trust. They invited their residents, corporate partners, various commercial tenants and local businesses to come and join the litter pick.

An incredible effort was made and 28.5kg of litter was collected and separated into recycling, general waste and ghost gear (which will be recycled by Waterhaul).

Clean Cornwall gifted Brooks Estates 10 of our reusable litter picking bags from our project with Falmouth University. These bags are fully customisable to each user, with their modular structure allowing the user to bring as many or as little separate categories they require. The bags were a hit at Perranporth, allowing the volunteers to efficiently sort the litter they were picking up. We can’t wait to see the bags in action again soon.

By joining us and becoming a Clean Cornwall Change Maker you will help us to continue our work to tackle the issue of litter and waste at source. Your business can become part of the solution, evidence corporate social responsibility, network, inspire and be inspired.
