Log your litter-picks

Whether you’re litter-picking on your own or as part of a group, don’t forget to log your litter-picks. 

Log your pick

By logging your litter-picks, you are actively supporting our campaigns for a deposit return scheme and extended producer responsibility, which have been proven to drastically reduce litter in other countries – just two examples of how #LitterHeroes are supporting a reduction in litter.
