Nottingham Clean Champions

Help make a positive difference to your neighbourhood

Join our Nottingham Clean Champions voluntary scheme and help keep your neighbourhood litter-free; you will be joining our existing volunteers across the city in making a difference from their doorstep. Together, we can make Nottingham a cleaner place to live.

Please note: only residents, educational establishments (e.g., school, college, university), groups, or businesses within Nottingham City can sign up to the scheme.

All equipment orders will be delivered to you within next 2 - 3 weeks of placing your order, so please plan accordingly for your litter pick. If you have not received your equipment within 1 month please get in contact with us.

If you have any informal feedback or questions about the scheme, please contact your Volunteer & Engagement Officer at clean.champions@nottinghamcity.gov.uk. Any formal compliments, comments or complaints can be sent via the council's Have Your Say process.
