More than two million pieces of litter are dropped in the UK every day. The cost to the taxpayers for street cleaning is over £1 billion a year.

Litter is anything from a crisp packet or empty bottle to a bag of rubbish. All litter is unsightly and makes our local areas look untidy and uncared for. It can take years to degrade, causing harm to wildlife and habitats. This has a harmful effect on our environment.

In an effort to reduce the impact of littering in our local area, we took to the streets to pick up all the litter we could find. We aim to become stewards of creation and care for our common home for the good of everyone in our local community.
