Cleaning the UK’s streets of mostly avoidable litter costs the taxpayer almost £800million each year according to the Department for Communities and Local Government.

Aiming to prevent the spread of littering and decrease the unnecessary public spend on UK street cleaning, just under £500,000 in government funding will be awarded to community projects tackling litter in the UK in new and innovative ways with applications for funding available until November 17th, 2017. For the best opportunity at securing funding, please ensure your Expression of Interest is submitted by September 26th.
