Around 25 volunteers (including some welcome new faces) tackled a sunny Llandaff Weir this morning, some in the water, and others along the riverside footpaths and grassy areas.
We definitely shouldn’t complain, but with “only” 25 bags collected, there seemed to be a lot less litter than we’ve seen on previous occasions — so much less, in fact, that we actually finished early, which is a very rare occurrence!
That said, the islands below the weir were much more overgrown than they’ve been before, to the point of being inaccessible, so there’s probably still some stuff hidden on them. We’ll find out if we manage to get back there when the vegetation has died down somewhat.
Many thanks to Kubota driver William, from Cardiff Council, for picking up bags and miscellaneous items, and ferrying them to where they could be collected for disposal. And many thanks to Benjamin, also from the Council, for picking it all up so promptly!
As usual, there was some metal scrap (although not as much as Dave might have liked!) and a number of people brought NOx canisters for processing and recycling.
Thanks to Llandaff Rowing Club for letting us use their car park.
