Promoting community involvement
If you want to promote community involvement, you can organise a litter picking event. Complete our web form and we can lend litter picking tools and bags to your school or local community group. We can also arrange for the collection of the litter after the event.
We may even be able to help with a larger community clear up in your area. This would include removing larger items of waste and graffiti.
These events are for the collection of rubbish with a litter picker. They are not a collection of bulk rubbish or fly-tipping.
Risk
Litter picking in a public place, especially on or by roads, will always involve a level of risk. This could be to either the individuals involved or members of the general public. The level of risk will vary at each location. Before beginning a litter pick, we recommend that you identify risks and note any hazards:
- a visual site inspection
- a risk assessment
A risk assessment form is available in the Download section of this page.
Get involved
If you would like to get involved, please read the FAQs and then complete the form below.
You need to complete the webform more than 5 working days before the event.
