Chichester District Council have relaunced their Against Litter campaign.

Please see their below message:

"With the warmer weather here, and people enjoying our green spaces, countryside, and beaches, we thought this would be a perfect time to reintroduce some key messages to the public.

Firstly, we want to remind residents and visitors to either take their rubbish home with them or dispose of it in one of our many public bins, and encourage others to do the same. We have over 300 square miles to look after, but we can’t do it alone, so we are asking everyone to play their part.

We are also reminding residents of our Adopt an Area scheme, where individuals and groups can pledge to look after a particular area of the district by undertaking litter picking on a regular basis. If anyone is interested in signing up to the scheme, where they will receive an Adopt an Area pack which contains tips on how to plan a clean-up activity and details of how we can support them, they can visit our webpage: https://www.chichester.gov.uk/adoptanarea

Similarly, they can sign up to our Green Dog Walking Scheme, where individuals can pledge to be a responsible dog owner, and be a friendly reminder to other dog walkers to clean up after their dogs too: https://www.chichester.gov.uk/greendogwalkers

Lastly, if any residents are having a clear out, we want to remind them to ensure that their waste is disposed of responsibly. They must always use a licenced waste carrier, and check their waste carrier number with the Environment Agency to make sure that they are registered. Individuals could face a fine if their rubbish is fly tipped and they didn’t use a licenced service provider: https://www.chichester.gov.uk/flytipping
