Fantastic day for our first group litter pick at the Monkland canal on Saturday. Over 40 bags of rubbish collected. Thanks again to @nlcpeople for collecting the rubbish bags. Great community spirit and teamwork paid off. #teamwork #friendsofmonklandscanal #nomorelitter #FOMC
The first group litter pick of the year will take place on Saturday 1 April. All equipment will be provided. Meeting point is at FOMC HQ (beside the allotments) We would love to see you there! #teamwork #community #workingtogether #nomorelitter #monklandscanal
Exciting to hear @scottishcanals will be present on the canal waterway/embankment between 21 and 23 November to complete maintenance. Please give the operator their space and keep a safe distance from the Truxor Amphibious vehicle. #fomc2020 #scottishcanals #letskeepthecanalclean
Thank you to Miss Ramage and the wonderful S1 pupils from @stambrosehigh who carried out a litter pick along the canal today. It is very much appreciated. Thank you for respecting the canal and surrounding area. #litterpick #cleanup #community #respectourenvironment #fomc2020
A lovely morning litter picking along the canal, lots of people out and about. Met with North Lanarkshire Youth Work along with Buchanan High School, Coatbridge young adults working towards their Duke of Edinburgh Silver Award. Good luck to them all! @BuchananHigh @NLCYouthwork
Thank you to Katie and Caoimhe from @StAugustine_PS who did a wonderful job picking up litter along the canal path. We can provide litter pickers, bin bags for anyone wishing to help #cleanup our beautiful canal area. Well done girls, you've earned your FOMC badges #fomc #canals
