Pick-Fit
Litter-picking is not only a great way to give back to your community by helping to keep your area clean, but it is also a great way to become active
Our Pick-Fit scheme has been highly commended in the national MJ Awards!
We have a dedicated crew of street cleaners who help keep the environment clean, but people are still dropping litter throughout High Peak.
Litter damages the environment and wildlife, with Councils in England spending almost £700 million on street cleaning services every year. Over the past year, COVID-related litter, such as face masks and gloves, have provided an additional risk to both the public and our environment.
Litter-pick your way fit.
Litter-picking is not only a great way to give back to your community by helping to keep your area clean, but it is also a great way to become active.
Regular exercise can help reduce the risk of heart disease, burn calories to lose weight and it can even improve your mental wellbeing. Pick-Fit offers you the chance to get fit while going out on regular litter-picks. You can also earn yourself one free week at the leisure centre to use the gym or pool (as an individual) or one free swim (for a family of 5).
By signing up, you will receive a Pick-Fit pack to help you get started. This will include:
- A litter-picker
- Bin bags
- Hi-Vis Vest
- Gloves
- Pick-Fit guidebook
After your litter-pick, you will need to provide us with a photo of you collected waste and the location where you have left the bag so we can collect it. We will then send you your free voucher to the leisure centre.
If you are already part of community litter-picking group, please get in touch with your existing contact with the council who will undertake Pick-Fit registration.
