Adopt a street

Please read and follow all of the Adopt-a-Street safety guidance to stay safe whilst involved in any litter picking activity.

To help protect yourself and others wash your hands and keep using hand sanitiser regularly.

We’re proud to support Adopt-a-Street volunteers, who help keep their communities and environments free from litter.

Under the scheme you choose the street you’d like to ‘adopt’ and we’ll provide you with the litter picking equipment and safety information you need.

We recognise the valuable work that volunteers across North Somerset are already doing to help keep the environment litter free. We want ‘adopt a street’ to complement and enhance the great work that’s already happening – we all have a responsibility to keep North Somerset clean and together we can all make a difference.

If you’d like to apply to become volunteer, or find out more, you will need to: 

  • download and complete our adopt a street application form and safety quiz
  • read our risk assessment
  • keep the safety guidelines handy when you’re out litter picking

We’d be grateful if you could let us know how often you litter pick your adopted street(s) and how much you collect by completing a litter log.

You can download and save the log below, then fill it in as you go along and email it to us at adopt-a-street@n-somerset.gov.uk at the end of each month.
