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.

We are extremely grateful for the work they do.

Adopt a street

Do you love where you live and would like to help keep it looking clean and tidy?

Join the Adopt a Street scheme on your own or as part of a group and make a difference to your community.

All you have to do is sign the online pledge which includes:

Telling us which area of land you would like to adopt (public land only unless you have permission from the landowner)
A promise from you to litter pick your chosen site at least three times a year on dates of your choosing and at your convenience

The area you choose to litter pick can be as small or as large as you like. The scheme is open to individuals, schools and community groups.

You can use your black bin at home for disposing of any litter you collect. If you cannot do this, or you have collected a large amount, then please use our online reporting system(opens in a new window)

If you're picking as part of a group please let us know online as early as possible so we can prearrange a collection.

In return for your commitment we will provide you with:

Free litter picking equipment and bags (limited to 10 sets for community groups/schools)
Guidance on health and safety

We will still be carrying out our litter picking and street cleansing duties as well as a range of other activities to encourage people to dispose of their litter responsibly. Together we can help keep our district clean and tidy.

Arranging collection of bags

Send us your litter picking information

It will really help us build a better picture of the litter problem across district and allow us to take more targeted action if you let us know how much litter you are collecting by using our online form. You don't have to do this but we really appreciate your valuable input.

More information

Keep Britain Tidy #LitterHeroes has a wealth of extra information for volunteer litter pickers including a beginners guide to litter picking.
