My Litter Picker Recommendation!
A lot of people will tell you that you can go to council and they will lend you litter pickers but if you'd rather have your very own permanent pair that you don't need to worry about giving back or losing, I have a set that I keep recommending to everyone!
I've broken two of the trigger handle ones before and after seeing Wayne's pair (from @WayneandKoda)I knew it was a good idea to look for a set of tongs that had no mechanism inside. Voila, I found a lovely green set with silicone ends and a nice cushioned handle!
You can get a set here: Amazon Litter Pickers
I'm not getting paid to advertise this set by the way, I just genuinely think they're great!
