Volunteer litter picking


We provide tools and green bags for litter picks run by community groups, schools, and residents. Once you have completed a litter pick, you can ask us to collect your green rubbish bags.

Litter pick tools

You can use our form to request litter picking tools. We will need to know:

  • if you are part of a community group or school
  • how many tools you need
  • how long you need the tools for
  • if you are collecting litter for an event

Please give us at least seven days' notice to process your request.

A member of our Street Care team will be in touch as soon as possible.

Request a litter bag collection
