Litter Champions help to deliver and promote litter campaigns/events and lead/arrange litter picking sessions. It is a great way make new friends and support the tidiness of our neighbourhoods!

What’s being done in your area:

Our teams work hard to keep the borough as clean and tidy as possible, so everyone can be happy where they live. We recently held a day of action to work with the local community and make a difference.

We are also out every day to take action to enforce on fly tipping and dumping. If you see something – just report it and we’ll sort it.

 

Ashton day of action leads to eight fly-tipping fines
