How do I book a kit?
First you will need to book a kit. When the booking is confirmed, the equipment will then be delivered to the organiser, and collected from them after the litter pick.
Uplift of the bagged rubbish will also be arranged.
Please note due to high demand there may be occasions when we require to restrict the number of kits available for loan to three. On receipt of your booking we will contact you to discuss kit availability.
