How you can help Charnwood in The Great British Spring Clean

Charnwood Borough Council is giving away litter pickers, high-vis jackets, and litter bags.

Residents are being urged to help give Charnwood a spring clean by litter picking in their local areas.

Charnwood Borough Council is giving away litter pickers, high-vis jackets, and litter bags as part of The Great British Spring Clean which runs between March 25 and April 10.

The Council has also arranged for its waste partner Serco to pick up bags of litter collected by local groups.

Councillor Leigh Harper-Davies, the Council’s lead member for waste, said: “We know residents are proud of Charnwood and want to keep it a clean and tidy place and therefore we want to support that amazing community effort.

“I’m delighted we can offer a number of litter-picking packs and would encourage people to come forward.

“Looking after the environment is one of the Council’s top priorities and almost every day, our waste partner Serco has teams out in the borough keeping our streets and parks free from litter.”

The Great British Spring Clean is back for its seventh year and Keep Britain Tidy’s message is to pick up as much litter as you can during the campaign.
