Less Litter for Leicester

449019436_1572922023275477_7497393108494975069_n.jpg

17 schools got involved in our Less Litter for Leicester 2024 project, picking an amazing 460kg of litter! You can now borrow litter picking kit if you would like to carry out litter picks in your school.

Further information

Our Less Litter for Leicester 2024 project builds on the success of litter picking projects in previous years.

Key achievements of the project:

  • 10 litter picking assemblies delivered to schools
  • Estimated 460kg of litter picked
  • Stokes Wood Primary School ran a community litter picking event
  • Highfields Primary School and Ellesmere College won the competition for the most unusual item found, with a draining board and a dolls head
  • Hallam Fields Primary School were inspired to recycle plastic bottles and created a mural of their school logo
  • Lancaster Academy collected a massive 66kg of litter

This project was kindly funded through Community Ward Funding from Beaumont Leys, Humberstone & Hamilton, and North Evington.

We now have adult and child size litter picking sets available to borrow on a termly basis. If you would like to borrow a set, then please email Jasmine.Walker@leicester.gov.uk

Please consider the environment.
