Staff from Riverside’s estate management board in Childwall helped to clear almost half a tonne of rubbish from the neighbouring loop-line – part of the Trans-Pennine Cycle Trail that runs around the Hartsbourne estate.
The clean-up was organised by Sustrans – the sustainable
transport charity that encourages people to walk, cycle and use
public transport to reduce motor traffic and its adverse
effects.
Seven keen volunteers helped to clear the area – a 10 mile
path for walkers, cyclists and horse riders running from Halewood
to Aintree.
Deb Clisham, estate management board manager for Riverside
properties in Childwall said: “It was great to see staff
volunteer to work on clearing the loop-line. We learned about the
natural habitat of the area and how to avoid disturbing it while
clearing the way to improve safety.”

Great news. Have an idea for a "highway and cycleway waste management plan" (HCWMP). All the waste that is collected by volunteers or highway staff is sorted at source as it is being lifted and then bagged or boxed to metals, cans, bottles, paper etc.
Of ocurse It is nothing new - the construction, demolition and dismantling industries do it all the time for their site waste management plans.
