Five members of the Bristol Airport team and four construction workers from Farrans Construction and Alun Griffiths braved the wet and windy weather and spent a day litter picking on the land adjacent to the main Airport roundabout.

The rubbish was separated into recyclables and non-recyclables and 14 bags of rubbish were collected in total.

The Bristol Airport team partnered up with Farrans Construction and Alun Griffiths Contractors Ltd for the big clean-up.

Farrans Construction and Alun Griffiths Contractors Ltd are currently building the transformational Public Transport Interchange as part of Bristol Airport’s largest capital project ever.

Since 2023, the on-site cleaning team at the Airport, Sasse Facilities Management Ltd, have been completing a once-a-month litter pick from Stone Farm entrance to the A38 traffic lights as part of our commitment to keep the local area to the Airport clean.

Some unusual items were collected by the volunteers including an office seat, car parts, flip flops, an umbrella, a disposable BBQ and an old traffic cone!
