General Information

Sodbury and Yate Clean Up is a volunteer group and is not responsible or liable for anyone’s health and safety.

If you fancy going out litter picking here are some general guidelines we recommend, we also advise visiting Keep Britain Tidy’s website

  • Children must be supervised by an adult at all times
  • Always use a picker to pick up litter and never your hands
  • Please wear suitable gloves & closed shoes, we recommend wearing boots
  • If you come across something dangerous, or hazardous please notify your local council
  • Do not overreach, or lift heavy weight that may cause injuries, if you come across heavy or awkward item please contact your local council
  • Please do not go onto someone’s private property 
  • Please do not pick on or close to roads
  • Most members of the public are extremely grateful when they see someone litter picking, and may want to say thank you or ask how they can get involved
  • If you see someone littering we ask that you do not confront them, their reaction may become defensive and hostile. Hopefully by subtly seeing the efforts of the group this will change their behaviour, actions speak louder than words!
