Clean-up in Llangennech woods
Volunteers removed 88 car tyres that had been fly-tipped in ancient woodland near Llangennech.
Troserch Woodland Society carried out a clean-up of the woods which has become a dumping ground for all sorts of rubbish.
It was supported by Carmarthenshire County Council’s Tidy Towns team along with Keep Wales Tidy.
The tyres were safely removed and then taken to be recycled.
Lincoln Grove from Troserch Woodland Society said: “A big thank you to Tidy Towns and everyone from Troserch Woodland Society who turned out on a damp Saturday morning to help dispose of all the dumped tyres.
“It is a shame some people think beautiful places like Troserch woods are disposal sites for their waste. It is, however, reassuring to know that there is no shortage of people who are prepared to give up their leisure time to clear up after them.”
Tidy Towns is a Welsh Assembly Government Funded initiative which aims to improve the quality of the local environment through community action.
