A dedicated team of divers from Northampton Scuba School recently completed an intensive six-hour cleanup operation along the River Nene in Northampton. The initiative, held on Saturday, September 19th, saw the collection of a substantial amount of discarded waste.
Among the recovered items were two old shopping trolleys, a milk churn, several car tyres, an old bicycle, and a drill with its charger. The event was organized in partnership with Northampton Active and the Northampton Rowing Club, aiming to remove as much rubbish as possible from the river.
Organizers from Northampton Scuba School expressed their commitment to ongoing environmental stewardship. They plan to conduct regular cleanups of the River Nene in the coming months. The success of this event was attributed to teamwork and a shared dedication to their local environment. Support was provided by Northampton Active with loaned canoes and the Northampton Canoe and Kayak Club, which supplied a ladder to assist divers.
