Wareham Wombles

The Wareham Wombles grew out of the volunteer group that came together for ‘Clean for the Queen’ litter pick in spring 2016 (when there was a lot of litter on the historic walls, for example). Since its inception it has run monthly litter-picks and has now cleared all of the historical black-spots but, sadly, can still fill ten bags on a regular pick.

Mission: Our aim is to tackle the litter problem by engaging the broader community to raise awareness of what can be done, not only by litter-picking activities, but also to deal with the various sources of the problem at corporate and individual levels.

Main Problem Areas (Grot Spots): The Wareham Bypass (A351) provides a seemingly endless supply of new litter. Sandford Lane industrial park is surprisingly badly treated by those who work there and the main routes to the schools need constant attention.
