Adopt a Street

The Adopt a Street Scheme has many volunteers across the parish including local schools, community groups and businesses as well as many local residents all committed to spreading the anti-litter message.
Adopt-a-Street encourages local people to volunteer to care for their communities and local environment through collecting litter from their local streets and areas. Volunteering for this scheme will not mean a reduction in the council’s street cleaning schedules, it will compliment and enhance this service.
  • PLEASE NOTE FOR HEALTHY AND SAFETY YOU MUST SIGN UP BEFORE WE CAN ISSUE YOU WITH LITTER PICKS AND BAGS

How 'Adopt a Street' Works

You can choose the area you want to “adopt” and when you want to volunteer. The parish council will help you by providing a litter picking kit, including a litter picker, high Vis jackets and bags you can leave out with your usual rubbish collection and basic written health and safety guidance is provided. It is a fantastic opportunity for all residents and other groups to get involved in looking after their local area.

“Adopt-a-Street is the perfect way of reinforcing the council’s zero tolerance policy on litter. It also encourages a real sense of civic pride among volunteers in their own neighbourhoods”.

Annual Litter Picks

We also run annual community litter picks in conjunction with Keep Britain Tidy.  This is a chance for all those that don’t want to regularly litter pick and join in for a one off annual community big tidy up.  These events are run and hosted by Shinfield Parish Council who will provide all the necessary equipment and refreshments, but we ask that you bring your own gloves.  

 

2023 Annual Community Litter Pick 

See flyer (right) for more information.  

This years event is kindly supported by Shinfield View Care Home who will be providing refreshments.

 

Want to run your own one off events, we can support you...

If you’d like to set up your own event and need H&S information and loan equipment such as pickers, bags and high vis jackets – please contact us by email stating how many people are taking part and when this is taking place. Thank you…

‘Together we can make a difference to our community!’
