One way to take action on litter is by carrying out litter picks. Many people choose to do this on their own or as part of a community group and help to keep our neighbourhoods clean. Clean places discourage further littering, so litter picking can help prevent this problem and raise awareness of litter issues too.

In the following pages, you will find lots of helpful advice, guidance and support for anyone wanting to litter pick, along with links to groups and events you can join in with. Whether you take part in a litter pick once or participate regularly, every piece of litter counts.
