Join a Clear-Up Group
Local groups play a large part in organising clean ups and other environmental events.
Some examples of groups that are active at keeping Norfolk clean are Norfolk Beach Cleans, Surfers Against Sewage and Pure Clean Earth, which run regular beach and community clear ups.
There are lots of other local groups who would be happy for you to join them.
If you are a local group which would like to join our Love Norfolk, Hate Litter campaign, please get in touch with Norfolk Recycles by sending us a direct message on Facebook or Twitter.
Larger Organised Litter Picks
