Truro City Clean Up 2025
We organised the eighth Truro City Clean Up event, in association with Newham BID, on two days in March. Truro BID and Newham BID, along with several businesses, organisations, community groups and local volunteer community leader, Paul Caruana, came together to clean, tidy and litter pick.
On Friday City Clean Up started with a litter pick along Tregolls Road, followed by cable tie cutting, sticker removal and sign washing in the city centre. There were also two litter picks in the afternoon at Kenwyn (Higher Trehaverne) and Newham.
Some of the Truro businesses and organisations involved included LiveWest, Marks and Spencers, Stephens Scown and The Alverton Hotel. Businesses and organisations from Newham that took part included, St Petrocs, iSight Cornwall, Enterprise Cars, MJ Medical, Biffa, Geothermal Engineering, Kartha Commercial Cleaning and Cornish Mutual.
Damien Richards, Community Development Officer at Truro City Council, and the City Council’s Countryside Rangers also helped getting local community groups on board for the clean-up.
On Saturday, the Friends of Daubuz Moor, the Friends of Coosebean and the Friends of Newbridge Park focused on litter removal in the local green spaces. Elsewhere in Truro, the City Life Church & Trelander & St Clements Community Association arranged a litter pick in Trelander and the Hendra Community Group arranged a litter pick at Hendra Hall. The Sea Cadets also did a litter pick at Malpas and Boscawen Park.
In Truro City Centre, a team of volunteers focused on further sign washing and sticker removal, which included Kartha Commercial Cleaning, Chough House clients and Truro City Councillor Lindsay Southcombe.
A total of 71 bags of rubbish were collected and around 80 volunteers took part. Two TVs were found abandoned on Daubuz Moor and one TV was discovered during the Newham litter pick. A huge thank you to everyone involved!
