Litter Picking

Our Environment Wardens ensure our parks and green spaces are a safe environment for all to visit.  You will see them patrolling our sites across Bracknell to ensure they are clear of litter, dog fouling, offering protection to wildlife and carrying out maintenance checks.  They provide a visible presence in our parks and green spaces, if you see them, say hello!

Residents are welcome to borrow litter picking equipment if they wish to help clear litter in their neighbourhood.

Did you know?

  • We are currently producing 13 billion plastic bottles every year of which only 57% are recycled. 700,000 are littered every day and will take approximately 450 years to decompose.  If Queen Elizabeth I were to have dropped a plastic bottle during her reign (1533 -1603), it would still be here today.
  • It takes up to 2 years for a banana skin to decompose.
  • Cigarette litter is the number one littered item in the country, and a cigarette end takes between 2 and 5 years to decompose.

Friends of Our Parks

Our Environment Wardens are gathering groups of like-minded people who are regular visitors to our parks.  We are looking to inspire groups of residents living nearby one of our parks and who take a special interest in the environment, to help us keep that park clear of litter! The environment wardens can provide you with equipment, all you need to do is organise a time and day with other people who want to help!

Speak to our environment wardens or call the office (01344 420079) to show your interest.
