 Keep Britain Tidy's biggest-ever litter campaign, the Great British Spring Clean, is coming, and they are looking for half a million litter heroes to help clean up our country.
The #GBSpringClean will take place from March 3-5, 2017, and is being supported by, among others, TV naturalist and writer Steve Backshall, the BAFTA award-winning Deadly 60 presenter.
The campaign is being
backed by the RSPCA, the Marine Conservation Society,
McDonald's, Greggs, Harrogate Spring Water, Lidl, Costa and many other
organisations.

can all be proud of. Sign up now and spread the word to your friends, family

 London Green Points - Havering is a partnership initiative between Havering Council and Local Green Points. It's been rewarding residents for reducing waste and recycling since January 2014. The scheme allows members to earn points, with every 400 points equating to £1, which they can choose to donate to a local charity or community project or spend on a choice of vouchers.
It’s easy to join Green Points. It's free, all you have to do is click here or call 020 7326 5055.
Food for thought
Around 40% of
household rubbish in Havering is made up of food waste!
We mainly throw away food because either we've cooked too much or
we've not eaten it
before it goes off.
If you do end up throwing some food make sure that any uncooked fruit and vegetable waste is being recycled by
purchasing a subsidised compost bin from Get Composting for just £14.99 including delivery. This
composter comes with a kitchen caddy to make it easy to collect food scraps in
your kitchen and turn them into nutrition for your garden.

 Free Compost Workshops
More than a third of household waste can be composted. Not just vegetable peelings and garden waste but all sorts of other packaging and paper that otherwise end up in black bags could be composted. Not only can composting reduce the £14 million the council has to spend on waste disposal annually but will make nutrient rich food for your garden for free! Find out more at one of our composting workshops:
Thursday 9 March: 5.30pm-7pm Hornchurch Library
Friday 31 March: 2pm-3.30pm Rainham Hall
Wednesday 12 April:10am-11.30am Romford Central Library
To request a place at one of these workshops email sue.brown@havering.gov.uk. Workshop places will be booked on a first come, first served basis.
