Bradford Bulls have scrummed down behind the Telegraph & Argus and Bradford Council's Litter Awareness Week.

Bulls players kicked off in the right direction after a training session to reinforce the Brad says BinIt! message.

Simon Knox, Nathan McAvoy, Tahi Reihana, and Paul Deacon each grabbed a brush at Odsal Stadium to show even rugby league players can keep a clean sheet.

They also helped to send the message to Bradfordians to bin their rubbish and help keep the region's streets litter free.

Bradford Bulls rent the ground from Bradford Council so the club has sole responsibility for keeping it clean after every match.

Stadium manager Eugene Egan said the club fully supported the BinIt! campaign

He said: "With Odsal being a designated ground we don't have many litter bins which can be put down because of the safety risk, say if one of them was set on fire.

"But we do try to encourage people who have been to the stadium to take their litter home with them. Any litter that is left in the stadium is picked up the following day by a private contractor we hire to do the job."

The Litter Awareness Week is in its third day and the BinIt! roadshow was returning to McDonalds in Kirkgate in Bradford's city centre today.

Tomorrow boasts a real treat for animal lovers with the Horses at Work team, led by Norman the shire horse, forming part of a cleansing exhibition which lasts from 10am till 3pm in Centenary Square.

As well as the horses there will be a fully restored 1950s gulley truck on display alongside a partly restored 1950s dust wagon.

Senior cleansing officer Ray Garland said: "They'll also be people from Trade Waste, ourselves from cleansing and enforcement, someone from the environment agency and representatives from recycling and composting for the general public to meet and ask questions."

The BinIt! roadshow will also start up in the square from noon onwards with children's games and a plethora of cans of Coke, T-shirts, caps and badges to give away.
