We’re becoming an official Litter Picking Hub with Keep Wales Tidy! This means you can borrow equipment from us to clear up your area safely, free of charge.
We’re kicking things off with a week of organised litter picks at the end of March – and you’re invited!
Why get involved?
- It’s good for the environment to reduce litter (and your streets will look better without rubbish blowing around!)
- You can connect with and chat to your fellow litterpickers
- Walking around in the fresh air is good for your mental and physical health
Sign up to any of the following events by filling out this form, or by emailing litterpickinghub@v2c.org.uk and we’ll send you the full details.

Wander around Wildmill with us
On 26th March, our litter pick will take place in Wildmill, with a twist! We’ll also be placing 8 skips around Wildmill to help you dispose of your bulky waste responsibly. Staff from different departments across Valleys to Coast will also be attending to chat to you and answer questions about your home – while walking around and enjoying the fresh air!
