While our cleansing teams do a fantastic job in keeping the district tidy, we really appreciate when people offer their support to help maintain and improve our district through volunteering and complementing the work of the Council across the district. Litter Champions receive all the necessary equipment and support to help them with their litter picks, with bagged rubbish collected by the Council.
