Clean and Green
Organise a Community or Individual Litter-Picking Event
Whether you’re planning a group clean up or want to carry out a litter pick on your own, we’re here to help. We can loan equipment and arrange collection of the waste once your litter pick is complete.
Resource pack
You can download our useful resource pack (.pdf) (0.97MB) (Opens in a New Window) which provides everything you need to run a safe and successful litter pick, including:
- Checklists for planning and carrying out a litter pick
- Risk assessments to help keep you or your group safe (these can be tailored to meet your needs)
- Posters and social media graphics to promote your event
- Template press releases to help you share your fantastic work
Promote your events
If you're organising a public event, we'd be happy to help promote it. Let us know what you're planning by emailing our Communications Team at press@broxtowe.gov.uk
How to Get Started
To organise an individual or group litter pick and borrow equipment, please contact our Waste and Recycling Team. Once your details are confirmed, we’ll arrange the equipment loan and waste collection.
Together, we can make Broxtowe a cleaner and greener place to live.
