Volunteer to help clean your street

Join our Adopt a Street scheme

Our Adopt a Street scheme allows residents to help keep their neighbourhoods tidy. 

How it works 

  • Volunteers complete the online application form
  • We will contact you to arrange collection of equipment 
  • We provide litter pickers, bags and a high visibility waistcoat 
  • You can litter pick at times that suit you 
  • Adopt a street bags are treated as household waste, so place in or beside your bin 
  • You can recycle items collected - place loose in your recycling  

 The adopt a street bag should not be left elsewhere as they may be mistaken for fly tipped waste.
