  • Defo something I’d be interested in but the topic is the litter situation. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Sat 20th Mar 2021 8:10am)
  • The topic is litter/recycling etc but that is defo a cause for concern and may be my next venture once this issue is resolved. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Sat 20th Mar 2021 8:10am)
  • We need to attack this from all angles. These numpties will listen to a celebrity or a footballer etc. This movement and culture change needs everything possible. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Mon 22nd Mar 2021 6:28am)

  • Cant wait to pick this up.......as litter. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Tue 23rd Mar 2021 6:33am)
  • Not yet. I only have 30 minutes with them but I have so much to cover. Hopefully we can get another sorted again. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Wed 24th Mar 2021 11:33am)
  • Council tax shouldn’t have to go towards picking up after people that treat the environment like its a bin. Personally I’d like resources spent on other things, improving the area rather than just staying on top of people trashing the place. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Wed 24th Mar 2021 12:19pm)
  • It wasn’t so bad, you can listen to it here. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Wed 24th Mar 2021 12:43pm)

  • Its my dream to be fighting over the last crisp packet. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Wed 24th Mar 2021 11:09pm)
  • Use the Glasgow cc app to report them and the council will come and pick up the bags. Mention that you have litter picked and feel free to use the hashtag #theglasgowcleanup by TheGlasgowCleanup (Thu 25th Mar 2021 12:54pm)
  • Absolutely. I actively try and I still feel like I produce loads in a week. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Thu 25th Mar 2021 7:59pm)
  • I’ll let you know when I come check on that pile next week. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Fri 26th Mar 2021 11:11am)
  • Not yet but I have huge amounts to cover and only have 30 min with them. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Fri 26th Mar 2021 11:11am)
  • Report it on the glasgow cc app and then the council send people out to come sleep next to it. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Fri 26th Mar 2021 11:10am)
  • If you want to know how mwi they are, this was actually my 3rd take and on one of my takes I accidentally bumped into the van and they didn’t even notice. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Fri 26th Mar 2021 12:20pm)
  • 🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏 by TheGlasgowCleanup (Fri 26th Mar 2021 12:33pm)
  • Thats defiantly a fair point. On previous picks the bags were picked up that same day. Also the litter that we picked was in the same location, its just in bags now. If anything its more accessible now. I’ll actually head back out and move it to the side. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Fri 26th Mar 2021 1:02pm)

  • Makes me feel like I’m pretty much wasting my time with all of this. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Fri 26th Mar 2021 1:33pm)
  • Working on it now and you’re absolutely correct. I’ll make sure it has that direct impact. Thank you by TheGlasgowCleanup (Fri 26th Mar 2021 3:37pm)
  • I have a politician guy reading/editing it for me now but i was going to go over my points publicly first before the meeting. Could you join me for that? by TheGlasgowCleanup (Fri 26th Mar 2021 5:49pm)
  • This whole thing was for comedic value plus those guys will be following a schedule I’m sure. Im not having a laugh at their expense but at GCC. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Fri 26th Mar 2021 6:43pm)

  • Thats what happened here and a couple of other locations where I’d received an email saying it had been dealt with. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Sat 27th Mar 2021 4:51am)
  • In retrospect its possible that they were not picked up at all. I received an email saying they had been but then I received an email saying this had been too. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Sat 27th Mar 2021 12:05pm)
  • That is basically the situation we are in. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Sat 27th Mar 2021 1:37pm)

  • I used the ai transcript but its a bit mental. I was going to post that but it needs work tbh. I'm asking someone now if they can look over it. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Wed 31st Mar 2021 11:11am)
  • Its like that where I’m originally from too. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Wed 31st Mar 2021 11:53am)
  • Not specifically the contents of this meeting but I have a phonecall today with someone from the sun newspaper. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Wed 31st Mar 2021 11:53am)
  • They said that with restrictions easing that more people would be out emptying the public street bins. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Wed 31st Mar 2021 11:51am)
  • I know how to do that on the Apollo app but I cant see how on here but does the twitter link work even without a twitter account? by TheGlasgowCleanup (Wed 31st Mar 2021 11:55am)
  • Yes can we do this? How could we go about it? by TheGlasgowCleanup (Wed 31st Mar 2021 12:31pm)
  • The lady that is helping me with it says it’ll be ready for tomorrow. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Wed 31st Mar 2021 1:28pm)
  • I honestly don’t know what would help at this point. I feel out of my depth as it is if I’m honest. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Wed 31st Mar 2021 1:27pm)
  • I’ve literally never read a newspaper in my life. Surely any press is good press though? More exposure? by TheGlasgowCleanup (Wed 31st Mar 2021 1:32pm)
  • I have this facebook.com/theglasgowcleanup Im most active on instagram. Most of what I do is pick litter and organise/post where and when litter picks will be. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Wed 31st Mar 2021 1:31pm)
  • Who I really want to reach out to is the youngteam. Of course I want more like minded people for phase one, picking up the litter and putting pressure on the council etc but for phase 2, the stopping of people dropping it we really need to reach out to those. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Wed 31st Mar 2021 1:44pm)
  • Haha thats how I’m feeling rn. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Wed 31st Mar 2021 2:43pm)
  • I don’t know if its a benefit or a hindrance but I know nothing about politics. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Wed 31st Mar 2021 2:43pm)
  • Not ask them per se but rather inceptulise it if thats even a word. Like in the movie inception. What if they came up with it on their own or with very little persuasion? by TheGlasgowCleanup (Wed 31st Mar 2021 2:41pm)
  • “Z’at your boattle a bucky? pick at up or youre gettin it” - I’m really hoping for this 🤞🤞🤞 Im 50% joking with this. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Wed 31st Mar 2021 3:32pm)
  • This is super helpful. I will do this. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Wed 31st Mar 2021 3:36pm)
  • Just me on a ms teams call with Aitken, Edgar and Aitkens assistant. My friend is typing up the transcript for tomorrow. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Wed 31st Mar 2021 5:38pm)
  • It was myself, Aitken, Edgar and Aitkens assistant on a ms teams call. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Wed 31st Mar 2021 5:37pm)
  • It just means that we’ll always be picking it up then. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Wed 31st Mar 2021 5:36pm)
  • Im not from Glasgow and I find it strange that they dont take littering as a sign of disrespect. I thought if were caught littering they’d get chibbed for it. Tbh I wasnt sure of it myself but when you put it like that, I’m defo going after that as an objective. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Wed 31st Mar 2021 6:20pm)
  • Yeah they came around later that day for the ones in that video. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Wed 31st Mar 2021 9:32pm)
  • I thought of that too but it may not go in the right direction. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Wed 31st Mar 2021 9:30pm)
  • Perhaps during that time the app will be rendered useless and will cause even more waste that wont be picked up and then gcc wont react to it and then we’ll just be even further behind in terms of getting waste removed. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Wed 31st Mar 2021 9:37pm)
  • Wow. You are right. That is next level. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Wed 31st Mar 2021 11:41pm)
  • See my latest post, just released it now. Its too many characters for the comments section. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Thu 1st Apr 2021 8:59am)
  • I wouldnt say the litter is exaggerated, some areas where I do litter picking such as when I was in Dennistoun. We didnt pick litter in an area but rather downwards. I picked litter from a 3x3 meter square more than 1 meter down. In some areas we go like Yoker, you cant even see the ground. Sometimes once you’ve picked the litter and you can see the ground, its actually just earth and plants growing on top of litter, some of which has expiration dates going back more than 10 years. Some areas that I pick are just as bad/even worse just a day or so later. On my Instagram I show videos of litter sprawling for miles. From Thornliebank station all the way to Nitshill there must be thousands of tonnes of litter on that stretch alone. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Thu 1st Apr 2021 10:20am)

  • I hate politics and speaking with these guys for 30 mins just annoyed me. Im really not a people person and I’ve just left a career of over 15 years where I had to deal with people paying me to give them information that they will never carry out. If someone else wants to do that part by all means but I feel like if I get involved it’ll shorten my lifespan. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Thu 1st Apr 2021 1:31pm)
  • Same by TheGlasgowCleanup (Thu 1st Apr 2021 10:06pm)
  • Does this mean there will be less litter? by TheGlasgowCleanup (Thu 1st Apr 2021 10:05pm)
  • Cool, now lets do this to the rest of Glasgow. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Fri 2nd Apr 2021 11:38pm)
  • This is good news! Do you mind if I share this story? by TheGlasgowCleanup (Mon 5th Apr 2021 12:43pm)
  • Get this one https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=litter+picker+streetmaster&_trksid=p2334524.m4084.l1313&_odkw=litter+picker by TheGlasgowCleanup (Thu 22nd Apr 2021 3:38am)
  • Its not the councils job to clean up after us, council tax should be spent on better things. It is our job as a society to stop littering and part of that is to pick up what has already been dropped, by us. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Thu 22nd Apr 2021 3:42am)
  • Cant wait to go and pick up litter after these numpties. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Sat 15th May 2021 6:24pm)
  • That’ll be about 3 months worth of litter in space of 10 minutes as well. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Sat 15th May 2021 6:25pm)
  • Glasgow looks like even more of shit hole than it usually does after they dropped goodness knows how many tonnes of litter. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Sat 15th May 2021 9:53pm)
  • The surrounding streets didnt though neither does the clyde with all the flares they threw in. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Sun 16th May 2021 5:08pm)
  • Not to mention what they did to the river and all across the city not just in the centre. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Sun 16th May 2021 6:18pm)
  • Come litter picking with me. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Thu 20th May 2021 3:44am)
  • Make sure its not on private land and it accessible for their van. After reading some of these its maybe worth filming and holding then accountable if its as bad as the pc case one Themalgor mentioned. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Thu 20th May 2021 3:49am)
  • r/theglasgowcleanup by TheGlasgowCleanup (Sat 22nd May 2021 6:59pm)
  • I did think of that tbh but a couple of things. 1. Lots of this litter had use by dates dating back as far as 2018 so its been there for ages in the school grounds and 2. There were hundreds of radnor branded water that I suspect is the water they serve in the school. I’d need to investigate that further though. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Sat 22nd May 2021 9:07pm)
  • Cheers! No, not at all, all feedback welcome 👍 by TheGlasgowCleanup (Sat 22nd May 2021 9:30pm)
  • Haha belter!!! by TheGlasgowCleanup (Sat 22nd May 2021 11:14pm)
  • You could come along to one of the litter picks and keep our spirits up with your jokes? by TheGlasgowCleanup (Sun 23rd May 2021 7:46am)
  • If you are referring to what I am doing, no. This has nothing to do with cop26. I didnt even know what it is and if I owned a van and licence myself I’d be dumping all the collected litter at the secc in protest. I pick litter in areas of Glasgow that nobody from cop26 will probably ever see. I’m doing it for the people. by TheGlasgowCleanup (Thu 27th May 2021 3:03pm)
