Nantwich Litter Group
Nantwich Litter Group is a well-established group of volunteers who come together to clean their local areas.
They organise their own litter picks, set their own priorities and work totally independent of the Council. These groups of volunteers are armed with safety equipment and litter picking equipment.
The group are greatly assisted by ANSA, (formerly Streetscape, Cheshire East Council’s Street Cleansing Department), who arrange disposal of bags of litter and other rubbish collected by the volunteers and lend support to special requests such as positioning of litter bins and clearing problem areas.
An Education Liaison Volunteer has recently been appointed and is working in co-operation with local schools to encourage litter awareness within school groups.
Considerable publicity has been achieved through local media, highlighting the group’s aims and activities. This has provided a useful platform for specific issues of concern such as fly tipping and dog fouling.
Why not get involved?
New volunteers are always welcome and equipment can be provided.

Keep Britain Tidy’s “Love Where You Live"
Love Where You Live is a campaign being run by Keep Britain Tidy, the environmental charity and anti-litter campaign for England, with the aim of inspiring everyone to think about their communities and take actions to reduce litter in the locations where they live, the places they visit and the spaces that they use. It is about everyone taking responsibility – individuals, local authorities, government and multi-national companies to change the way people think and act about littering. We all love something about where we live and this campaign is about everyone working together to make change happen. No one is excluded as we can all do something, whoever we are, to make where we live a better place. Find out more about Love Where You Live.
