As part of our commitment to protect and enhance the environment, it is important that our local areas are kept clean and attractive for our residents. In addition to our usual street cleansing operations, it is essential that we encourage our local communities to take some level of responsibility in supporting, improving, and maintaining their local environment, and keeping their local areas clean.

North Herts has therefore developed its Adopt an Area scheme to work in partnership with our local communities to keep the environment tidy by encouraging residents to adopt their street, neighbourhood, or their dog walking route and make pledges to keep it litter-free through doing litter picks.

It is up to the volunteer to decide the size of the area they cover as well as how often they would like to litter pick in their adopted area.
