Thank you for joining the fight against litter

Every piece of litter removed from the environment reduces the risk of harm to our wildlife. We'd love to see where you've been cleaning up the county. Plot your pick on our map below!

We'd also love to see you in action. Please send your litter picking photos to us so we can inspire others in Essex.

Plot your pick

Where have you been litter picking?
Please search for the location in the location text field. A pin will automatically be dropped at the specified location in the search map below. You can move around and zoom in and out of the search map to find a more specific location. Clicking on the map once will update the pin’s location.

Use gardening gloves or a litter picker if you can, but always be careful of sharp or dangerous objects. Stay away from needles, electrical items, anything with potentially dangerous chemicals or human waste (like nappies). If you’re not sure what something is, don’t pick it up. If you’ve touched any litter, make sure you wash your hands afterwards.
