The sticky subject of how to dispose of chewing gum and other litter properly has been tackled head-on by local schools.

St Crispin’s in Wokingham and The Piggott in Wargrave took part in the “Bin It!” schools programme developed by Wrigley and education consultancy EdComs for 11 to 13-year-olds.

It is an actor-led presentation launched two years ago. Schools can get a free resource pack by calling 0870 242 5572 or by emailing requests@edcoms.co.uk.

Up to three packs are available per school for named teachers.
