Glasgow's Keppoch Nursery School Litter tackle fly-tipping
Keppoch Nursery School in Glasgow organised the clean-up on Thursday, June 19, as part of its ongoing campaign to tackle fly-tipping and littering around its campus and work towards earning an Eco flag.
Staff, children, and community partners took part, including Stepping Stones for Families and pupils from Saracen Primary School.

This event provided an opportunity for participants to learn more about the environment and the negative impact litter can have on animals and the safety issues associated with fly-tipping.
It was inspired by children's observations of litter outside the school gates, which led them to create a sign reading: "Do not dump litter in our green space."
Maria, a neighbourhood improvement and enforcement officer from North/West, attended the event and praised the children's enthusiasm and motivation.
Parents also supported the initiative, with one parent saying: "Watching the kids help collect litter and get excited about cleaning up the area was really inspiring."
A spokesperson for Keppoch Nursery School said: "We hope all our efforts across the year help us to gain our Eco flag."
