Vests and Sacks
CPRE can supply your group with free vests and sacks for your clean up. All we ask is that if you don't intend to use them that often then please return them. Simply email Willg@cpre.org.uk to pass on your request and we will send them to you as soon as possible.
Helping Hand Litterpickers Spring Clearance
Your local council can often lend you (or give you) much of the litter-picking equipment that you need. But, as we have commented elsewhere, it may be risky always relying on borrowing equipment from your council, especially if there are other groups after it at the same time, so here are a few suggestions about where to obtain equipment
Ask the contact at your local council where they buy their equipment – they might be able to get you good rates. You can often find all the equipment that you need at reasonable prices from your local shops (e.g. hardware store, DIY shed, garden centre, etc.) or on E-Bay.
There are also many local suppliers who can be found in the appropriate section of Yellow Pages (try “cleaning materials”, “janitorial supplies” or “workwear”)
Below is a selection of suppliers who sell via the internet. Please let us know of any others you have used and we will add them to the list :
