CHILDREN and teachers from Lyppard Grange Primary School filled seven black bags with rubbish when they went litter picking as part of the Rubbish? Sort it! Campaign.

All of it was found around the Lyppard Grange pond and surrounding hedgerows during a three-hour session involving about 90 children from years three and four, together with their teachers. Assistant Ranger Heather Bainbridge said the children sorted the litter into four bags of rubbish and three of recyclables.

"The children knew quite a lot about recycling in Worcester and they seemed quite keen on the idea, she said.
