And she's got a message for the litterbugs
A Leeds litter picker has lifted the lid on just what it is like to work on the streets of Leeds to help keep them clean 365 days a year.
Jayne, who swells with pride when people thank her for her hard work, has lifted the lid on the stark realities of her all-important job. She says council estates and shopping areas build up the most rubbish, where she’s constantly finding “empty bottles of beers and cans and scratch cards”.The 58-year-old covers Bramley, West Park, Kirkstall and Burley, working shifts of fours days on and three off, tirelessly from 6am until 4.30pm.
“Sometimes you feel it’s a monotonous job because sometimes people drive past and throw it [rubbish] out of the window. It gets you a bit fed up sometimes. But not all the time, because you think, ‘Hang on, I’m getting paid for it’. Leeds City Council spoke about their “tireless and committed” staff members on the Cleaner Neighbourhood Teams . A council spokesperson said: “The team take great pride in the work they do and we are grateful to our colleagues and partners for their tireless commitment and efforts. The area based teams across the city work seven days a week, all year round.
