Volunteer to litter pick in your area
Big Broadland Litter Pick
Broadland District Council’s Big Litter Pick 2024 has come to an end with 20 participating local groups, clubs and associations winning £200 each to benefit their community.
The third year of running the scheme was a huge success, with 561 volunteers from across the district collecting 321 bags of litter - over 2 tonnes of waste!
Councillor Jan Davis, Cabinet Member for Environmental Excellence said:
“People come from all over the country and beyond to enjoy the beautiful countryside that’s right on our doorstep. We are fortunate to live in such a wonderful part of the world, it’s vital that we look after it. I’m delighted that so many groups took part this year and I would like to thank them all for doing their bit to keep Broadland looking neat and tidy.”
The Council provided advice and the equipment needed for the litter picks and collected up the bags of rubbish and recycling.
All the names of all the community groups and schools that registered to take part were entered into a draw to win a share of the £4,000 prize fund. Every group that took part was also given a £20 voucher to be spent on their group, charity or local community.
The winning groups are as follows:
- Guestwick Village Hall
- Sprowston Litter Pickers
- Coltishall Grumpy Old Men
