About us

Rage Against Rubbish was formed by a group of kayakers, who regularly paddle along the Bridgwater & Taunton Canal.

We were fed up with seeing vast amounts of rubbish and discarded items in the waterway.

Originally the clean-up started by accident but before long we realised just how much litter was actually in the water and this made us want to do more. So we decided to organise a litter pick once a month along the Bridgwater & Taunton Canal.

If you would like to help us on our quest, please visit our event page for the date of our next litter pick.
