No, not the empties after the HGG party but some of the collection of glass bottles after one of our litter picks.
One of our tasks in July was to clear a small mountain of plastic tree guards and wooden stakes from where they had been left under some trees. At the same time, our members scoured the nearby area for litter and this was just some of it.

About us
After the task in the churchyard.
Originally founded by BTCV, Horsham Green Gym is now run by its members, with co-operation and encouragement from Horsham District Council.
We meet on Tuesday mornings, usually from 10.0 am to 1.0 pm and work at various sites in and near Horsham getting exercise and fresh air while improving the local environment, learning new skills and making new friends.
Recent tasks have included building benches, tree planting, clearing streams, fixing way-markers for the Riverside Walk, bird box making, rhododendron, gorse and bramble clearance and path resurfacing. We are also proficient at creating dead hedges and removing plastic tree guards. Our members also have experience of pond clearance, fencing, coppicing and hedge laying.
