THE latest pop-up tip has been hailed as a 'huge success' with young children showing pride in their community and keeping their streets tidy. 

The mobile tip in Warndon took place on Saturday - and surpassed expectations says Cllr Jill Desayrah.

The Warndon city councillor wanted as many residents as possible to make use of the 'use it or lose it' service in the war against the blight of flytipping and, when the weekend came, she was not disappointed by the response.

Cllr Desayrah, the city councillor for Warndon, believed the service could boost people's pride in their community and make life easier for residents. She arrived at Goldsmith Road in Worcester to see the progress for herself.

The second mobile tip ran at Goldsmith Road near Wheelwright Close on Saturday following on from the one in Rodborough Close in Warndon on Saturday, March 18.

She said: "The latest pop-up tip in Warndon was a huge success.

"Many residents from the local streets and estates came to get rid of their unwanted household items. Things such as mattresses, sofas, carpet off-cuts and various planks of wood were just some of what was delivered. The Pop-up site was particularly helpful for residents without cars or who find the cost of council collections difficult. Three bin lorries and a large cardboard recycling bin were filled."

Amongst those at the site was Ollie Bevan, 12, of Saddlers Walk who came with his family bringing along his unwanted 5-a-side goal. 

Keith Best, another resident of Saddlers Walk, who brought four car loads to the pop-up site, said: "These mobile manned tips are ideal and hopefully they will carry on. With these as a regular thing there’s no excuse for fly tipping."

Warndon teenagers Harvey, 17, and Jaydon Cook, 15, brought old metal garden tables for recycling.

These were large and heavy and yet they managed to walk them to the site, describing it as 'so handy and convenient'.

The youngest contributors were in a joint family effort by Debbie Heywood, 34, and Sarah Ballard, 36, with Skylar, four, and seven-year-old Lexi-Mae.

Ms Heywood cleared her own unwanted items and also made it a community event by collecting bags of rubbish that had accumulated in nearby alleys. She said: "This is absolutely brilliant and we hope it will continue".

Cllr Desayrah, who asked for the Pop-up Tips, said: "These two trials at Rodborough Close and Goldsmith Road have been welcomed by the people of Warndon, who need and appreciate the service. Proximity is the key.

"One young boy dragged a green bin bigger than himself containing an old paddling pool along the pavement to the site. I would like to see this service continue. It is an effective way to help people declutter their lives, reduce fly tipping and make the area a more pleasant place to live. I will be asking the City Council to make it a regular event”.
