Litter Free Norbury

Litter Free Norbury is a non-political, community-based charity looking to tackle issues with litter, fly-tipping and other environmental problems, such as graffiti, within the Norbury area.

​

The organisation was started at the end of 2020 and now boasts over 300 members across our different social media platforms.

​

We are engaging with residents about the issues they are seeing on the streets, with a view to looking at the causes and solutions, e.g., at specific fly-tipping hot spots.

​

We are also actively engaging with the council to highlight issues and seek changes and improvements, particularly in respect of the performance of the cleaning contractor, Veolia.

​

For example, we have been challenging the council in respect of:

​

• The disappearance of many street-side litter bins in the area.

• Issues with the significant lead-times for residents requesting new/replacement household wheelie bins, as well as missed waste collections.

• Issues with lack of updates on reports made using the “Don’t Mess with Croydon” mobile phone application.

• The lack of enforcement undertaken on fly-tippers and litterers.

​

Many of our members undertake their own individual litter picking activity, with some going out to help clean up the streets of litter daily.  Additionally, as a group, we organise a group clean-up event every month around different parts of Norbury.
