One evening in September we shall be joining the local Cub Scouts for a chat about the anti-social behaviour of littering followed by a litter pick around the village. As part of their 'Community Challenge Award' the Cubs did a great job in tidying litter from the village. Even the fading light didn't dampen their enthusiasm. From their bags of rubbish the Cubs concluded that the most common items were cigarette waste, crisp packets and plastic bottles. They were also surprised to learn how long the rubbish would have taken to degrade. We must thank the Cubs wholeheartedly for their help. They certainly all deserve their award..

These groups are near to you in case you want to contact them for advice, to offer them support or, for example, to share equipment with them.
Here at CleanupUK, we want to help you to take LitterAction! Wherever you live in the UK, forming your own community litter-picking group will help to keep your community safer, more friendly and free of litter. It’s lots of fun too. Why not muck in and join us?
