Love where you live
Community volunteer litter pickers
Volunteer litter pickers help us keep the district a clean, safe and green place to live, work and visit, would you be willing to adopt a street?
We are extremely grateful for the work our volunteers do.
Our new group went out on their first litter pick and we found far more than we initially thought we would! The group really enjoyed it and they are now making links between making their small contribution of picking up litter and helping the environment.
Wyre Forest School
Litter picking is good for our mental and physical health and it feels good to be doing something positive for people, the planet and all the wildlife.

A big thankyou to the Birmingham Road, Kidderminster litter pickers. The grass verges, pathways and cycle routes are maintained to an unbelievable high standard. Their commitment every Sunday morning is exemplary. Throughout lockdown and to present day their hard work continues. You are all a credit to the community.
Become a volunteer litter picker
Volunteers can do as much or as little as they like in any public areas such as parks, grass verges or footpaths. They let us know when and where they are picking and an agreed place for us to pick up the bags.
Our guide gives you more information about being a volunteer litter picker, what you need to do before, during and after a pick as well as details on how to order equipment.
