An official CITO 2016 digital souvenir will be available for events during the weeks of April 16 – 24 and September 17 – 25, so attending this event could earn you the souvenir, assuming that you haven't already earned it!

What?
This clean-up will take place Luxulyan Valley regardless of the weather!

The terrain rating for this event reflects the fact that there are steep slopes and unmade paths around the site.

Health & Safety/Risk Assessment:
The assessment is laid out as follows:

Hazard – People at risk – Risk level – Action required to reduce risk.

• Cuts to fingers from handling broken glass or sharp litter – Volunteers – Low – Wear gloves.
• Back injuries from heavy lifting – Volunteers – Medium – Work as a team when faced with heavy objects – If it is too heavy, don’t move it – just mark it as a waypoint and report it to the event organiser.
• Tripping over bags of cleared rubbish - Volunteers & the public – Low – Ensure all volunteers use the designated collection point away from the paths and walkways.
• Drowning in the leats/River – Volunteers – Medium – The edges of the leats are steep and unfenced. We will not be removing any rubbish from within them, so attendees are not required to enter water at any time.
• Injury from aggressive wildfowl – Volunteers – Low – All volunteers to give any wildfowl in the area a wide berth.
• Catching a disease – Volunteers – Low – Gloves should be worn for the work and hands cleaned thoroughly before eating food or drinking. Report any dead animals to the event organiser who will inform the Local Authority. If you do not like the look of something, do not touch it!
