Why are we doing this
We adopted the “Adopt A Street” idea from Leithers Don't Litter - who have signed up more that 135 streets in Leith, Edinburgh by over 200 people to date; if people feel they have a sense of ownership in their community they take pride in it. Furthermore if other residents see you putting in effort to keep your neighbourhood tidy, they will be inclined to also love and respect it. 

Conditions of receiving litter picking equipment

1. This campaign will start from the 19th May 2019. 
2. This is available only to Prestwich residents and businesses. We have limited supplies - having funded this out of the Parklife Grant 2019 award.
3. As of 1st July, We have secured funding for a further 100 litter pickers !! So please sign up. 
4. Alternatively see Bury Street Pledge - Get a free litter picker & hoop although please note this is not affiliated with Clean Team Prestwich.

Now that you have adopted your Street, here are a couple of useful reminders:

1. If you pick up a small amount of litter and you pass a public rubbish bin during your pick, please empty the rubbish into the bin
2. If you fill up an entire red bin bag, please tie it up tight and place it next to a public rubbish bin for the council to collect when they empty the bin
3. If you would like some red bags - come along to one of our litter picks - we run on the first Sunday of each month - see Schedule 2019.
4. If you fill up a bin bag of your own, please place in your grey bin/dispose of it
5. Wear appropriate clothing, footwear and, ideally, gloves
6. Don't pick up broken glass, needles or sharps
7. Don't risk falling or picking litter on slippery ground
8. If you see large items and fly-tipping, please report it here: https://www.bury.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=11296
