Keep Liverpool Tidy

Keep Liverpool Tidy logo

We have teamed up with Keep Britain Tidy to improve how we tackle refuse and waste, and help you play a more active role in cleaning up our city.

Look out for our campaigns in 2023 and help us bring about positive change.

Get involved - join a group

Join the communities that already play an active role in cleaning up our city. Volunteer groups carry out regular litter picks and clean-ups.

Tell us about your event

If your group is holding a clean-up event, we can help to promote it.

Want to organise a litter pick?

If you want to organise a litter pick you will need to consider:

where you want to clean-up
any permissions you may need
the equipment you need
what to do with the litter you collect
how to keep your group safe

Need to order equipment?

Keep Liverpool Tidy may be able loan your group equipment for a community clean-up - equipment includes hand-held litter pickers, bag hoops, refuse sacks and high visibility vests.
