Picking up litter and staying safe
We’re asking you to pick-up litter, up and down your street.
This includes:
- picking up litter near to your business, especially if it’s something like a sweet wrapper or take away packaging that could have come from your business
- tackling litter hotspots, for example, a nearby bus stop with lots of litter
- picking up dropped litter, at least once a day, when it’s a noticeable problem. More will be a bonus, especially at peak litter times
- making sure you stay safe, keeping at least two metres from other people when picking up litter, and wearing gloves
Once you’ve picked up, and bagged litter, dispose or recycle it as part of your trade waste using a licensed waste carrier.
