Take action

 Four things you can do on litter and fly-tipping

1. Report a litter or fly-tipping problem to your local council
You can use our easy to use online letter writing tool to find and email your local council and let them know about your problem and action you want them to take.

Find and email your local council:
> England
> Wales
> Scotland
> Northern Ireland

2. Ask you MP to support our parliamentary motion
Cheltenham MP Martin Horwood has tabled a parliamentary motion to support CPRE's Stop the Drop campaign against litter and fly-tipping. The motion, which is supported by Labour, Conservative and Liberal Democrat MPs, recognises that litter is a blight on too many towns, cities and rural areas, and calls for the Government and local councils to do more. It also urges ministers to look at the merits of a bottle deposit scheme, to encourage people to reuse and recycle bottles.

3. Sign up to Bill Bryson’s Stop the Drop newsletter
We need to demonstrate to Government how many people support our Stop the Drop campaign. Join the Stop the Drop campaign and receive Bill Bryson’s campaign updates and e-newsletter. As well as getting all the latest campaign news we’ll be letting you know about more ways to get involved and take action.

4. Community clean-up at LitterAction.org.uk
