The Hills Group has provided Westbury Town Council with additional litter picking equipment to help with additional requests for litter picks in the town

Phil McMullen, Projects & Committee Clerk at Westbury Town Council, contacted Hills to see if the company could assist with providing new equipment, saying: “There is an increase in the number of requests to hold community litter picks in Westbury and for the Town Council to supply the equipment. These are in addition to the four litter picks that the councillors hold each year. The problem is, every time the kit goes out, we end up losing two or three pickers either to breakage or loss). It’s getting to be really expensive!”

Paul Scriven, Northacre MBT Plant Manager for Hills Waste Solutions, said: “We are thrilled to be able to help the Town Council again and provide them with the equipment they need so that these community events can continue to take place.
