Cleaner countryside

Litter spoils our enjoyment of the countryside and can be harmful for wildlife and people. We’re working towards a litter-free countryside for everyone. CPRE has long campaigned for a Deposit Return Scheme for all drinks containers to act as a deterrent to littering and boost recycling rates.

Over the years we have organised litter picking events, helping to keep our countryside clean. You can contact your local council who can often provide litter picking equipment, find a local litter picking group here, or create your own!
