Join BinIt Bags and Litter Watch to Tackle Litter in Birmingham!

At BinIt Bags, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. From producing 100% recycled bin bags here in the UK to supporting community initiatives that make a real difference, we’re committed to creating a cleaner, greener future. That’s why we’re thrilled to partner with Litter Watch, an award-winning charity focused on cleaning up Sandwell, Birmingham and invite you to join us in supporting their mission.

About Litter Watch: Making a Real Impact

Since 1997, Litter Watch has been dedicated to making Sandwell a cleaner, greener place. Through community workshops, litter-picking events, and environmental campaigns, they’ve empowered over 100,000 people to take action against litter, graffiti, and other environmental issues. Their work spans six towns in Sandwell, and their efforts are making a lasting impact on both local residents and the environment.

One of their flagship initiatives, The Big Spring Clean, brings thousands of volunteers together to clean up hundreds of locations across Sandwell. However, as with all impactful work, Litter Watch relies on support to continue its efforts.

BinIt Bags Joins Forces with Litter Watch

At BinIt Bags, we’ve been working alongside Litter Watch for over a year, donating heavy-duty bin bags to assist in their litter-picking events. We’ve also supported their Skip Days, helping to provide waste disposal solutions in fly-tipping hotspots. As part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability and community support, we’ve partnered with Litter Watch to help fundraise for their vital work in Sandwell.

Our goal is to raise £1,000 to support the continuation of Litter Watch’s initiatives. The funds will go toward purchasing essential litter-picking equipment, making repairs to community allotments damaged by recent storms, and supporting their community campaigns, including The Big Spring Clean.

How You Can Help: The Big Litter Pick Challenge

We’ve teamed up with the GOALD app to launch the Big Litter Pick Challenge, a fun and engaging way for individuals, schools, businesses, and community groups to get involved in the fight against litter. Here’s how it works:

• Sign up to the challenge and start collecting as many bags of litter as possible. Whoever collects the most bags by 13th May will win a £50 Amazon voucher! 🏆
• Track your progress using the GOALD app, which allows you to log every bag of litter you collect and keep track of your efforts.
• Raise funds for Litter Watch while making a real, visible difference in your local area. The funds raised will support ongoing campaigns like The Big Spring Clean and other environmental initiatives.

Even if you’re not able to take part in the challenge, you can still support Litter Watch by making a donation. Every penny raised will go toward:

• Litter-picking equipment for local events.
• Repairs to allotments damaged by storms, ensuring these community spaces are safe and accessible.
• Coordinating events like The Big Spring Clean and graffiti removal efforts to keep Sandwell clean and beautiful.
