Help keep Basingstoke and Deane clean

Keeping our streets, parks, play areas and countryside clean and tidy is a key priority for us at the council, but we can all play our part to reduce litter and stamp out antisocial acts like graffiti, dog fouling and fly-tipping which blight our communities.

In February and March we ran the Keep Basingstoke and Deane campaign to encourage community-minded individuals, local groups and organisations to run or take part in local litter picks or clean-up sessions in their areas.

Events were held across the borough and we’d like to thank everyone who took part and supported Keep Basingstoke and Deane Clean.

But the effort doesn’t have to stop there. Our aspiration is that our community-minded groups and volunteers will continue to hold litter picks or community tidy up activities in their areas all year round for people to get involved in.

How you can help

If you, your group or organisation are holding a community clean up, let us know. We can support by collecting the litter you pick up, as well as providing litter picking sticks and sacks.

For an event we will need to know:

• when and where you are planning to hold your event
• the finish time and what3words location of your event to enable us to collect the litter
• a copy of your Public Liability Insurance certificate

Full guidance on how to plan and run your event safely is available from our website A guide for litter pick event organisers
