Free Litter Picking Kits for Volunteers in Stowmarket
Do you want to make a difference in your local area? Whether you’re an individual, family, school, community group, or business, our Cleanup Hubs are here to help you take action.
We provide free litter picking kits so you can help keep Stowmarket clean, tidy, and welcoming for everyone.
What is a Cleanup Hub?
Cleanup Hubs are local collection points where volunteers can borrow litter picking equipment.
By using a hub, you’re supporting a cleaner Stowmarket and encouraging others to take pride in our public spaces.
Where Are the Cleanup Hubs?
You can borrow equipment from any of our three hub locations in Stowmarket:
Milton House
Milton Road South, Stowmarket, IP14 1EZ
Stowmarket Community Centre
Hillside, Stowmarket, IP14 2BD
Cedars Park Community Centre
Pintail Road, Stowmarket, IP14 5FP
How to Get Started
- Choose Your Hub
Let us know which Cleanup Hub you’d like to collect your kit from.
- Pick Up Your Kit
We’ll confirm your collection and return dates. You’ll also receive guidance information and a generic risk assessment to help you plan a safe and successful litter pick.
- Litter Pick!
Have a fun, safe, and rewarding experience making a real difference to your local area. Every piece of litter collected helps protect wildlife, improve public spaces, and bring our community together.
- Return Your Kit
Bring the equipment back to the hub on the agreed date so others can use it too.
What to Do with Full Refuse Sacks
- Place your orange sacks in or beside your household rubbish bin on your normal collection day.
- If that’s not possible, you can return filled bags to your chosen Cleanup Hub.
Support and Promotion
By using a Cleanup Hub, you’re helping build a stronger, cleaner community — and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
We can help by:
- Supplying the right equipment
- Providing clear safety guidance
- Offering promotional support to celebrate your efforts and encourage others to get involved
Whether it’s a one-off activity or part of a regular clean-up, your actions make a real difference — and we’re proud to support you.
