Spring Pickers
Clean up our county by picking up 5 pieces of litter every day for 10 days.
Spring is a time for wildlife to flourish, so what better way to welcome the new season than cleaning up the county? Join our 10-day litter-picking challenge to give the people and wildlife of Essex a cleaner, safer environment to proudly call home.
Get your gloves, bags, pickers, friends, family, neighbours and colleagues ready and sign up below.

Use gardening gloves or a litter picker if you can, but always be careful of sharp or dangerous objects. Stay away from needles, electrical items, anything with potentially dangerous chemicals or human waste (like nappies). If you’re not sure what something is, don’t pick it up. If you’ve touched any litter, make sure you wash your hands afterwards.
