Litter Picking
Residents across Solihull take great pride in where they live and are very active in helping to keep their local areas litter-free.
On this page you can find more information about how to register and receive free litter picking equipment to start your volunteer journey.
Whether you want to get active in the community or do your bit at home, we're here to help!
Join our team of Love Solihull volunteers!
Any individuals who would like to join our team of volunteers can register online for our Love Solihull Community Litter Picking initiative, and will receive free litter picking equipment to help you get started.
Once you are registered as an individual, you will receive an email from Love Solihull inviting you to collect equipment from your chosen local library. Please do not visit the library to collect equipment until you have registered and received a confirmation email from Love Solihull, as staff will be unable to issue equipment.
Once you receive your confirmation email, don't forget to check the library opening hours before visiting, and download your volunteer pack.
Want to join a local litter picking group?
If a group activity is more your cup of tea, why not join one of our local litter picking groups? You can find out more about the groups we have across the borough by visiting our Litter Picking Groups page.

There's no need to register - just Get in Touch to request equipment
and don't forget to check out our Environmental Education page for
resources to support classroom activities.
