Volunteer to litter pick in your area
Big South Norfolk Litter Pick
South Norfolk Council’s Big Litter Pick 2024 has come to an end with 20 local groups, clubs and associations winning £200 each to benefit their community.
This year, 60 groups organised litter picks, involving 934 volunteers from across the district collecting 759 bags of litter - over 5 tonnes of waste!
Councillor Keith Kiddie, Cabinet Member for the Environment said:
“South Norfolk is one of the best and most beautiful places to live in the country and I was delighted to see so many people getting involved in our litter picks, to help keep it that way.
“I’d like to say a big thank you to everyone who took part. Our residents’ hard work makes a real difference to our communities and I would also like to say congratulations to all of our winners.”
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:
- 1st Wicklewood Guides
- Alburgh PC
- Aldeby PC
- Barnham Broom PC
- Claxton PC
- East Carleton Village
- Greening Wymondham
- Heywood PC
- Ketteringham Village Hall
