Can you really reduce gum litter by 86%? 🧐

The answer is yes. Last year, councils across the UK used the Chewing Gum Task Force grants to deliver visible, measurable improvements that residents love.

🌳 Did you know? Furniture production is responsible for 2% of global carbon emissions and uses around 4 billion cubic metres of wood every year.

Choosing second-hand, repaired, or upcycled furniture helps reduce this impact: bit.ly/4sCa83J

Follow in Rosalie’s footsteps 🧵

Repairing one small detail helped bring her beloved winter coat back to life and reduced waste at the same time.

What’s waiting at the back of your wardrobe to be repaired or reused?

👖 Did you know? The UN estimates that a single pair of jeans can require 7,500–10,000 litres of water to produce. Cotton is often grown in dry environments, putting huge pressure on water resources.

Did you know that 53% of UK adults have repaired an electrical item or device in the last 12 months? Choosing to repair instead of replace cuts waste, saves money, and keeps valuable materials in use.

What’s in your phone… and what does it cost the Earth? 📱

A typical iPhone contains precious metals like gold, silver, and palladium, plus plastic made from crude oil. Extracting these materials comes at a cost to the planet.

These 3 simple checks take minutes — but could save you £££ and keep criminals out of your home. If you don’t check who takes your rubbish, you could be fined when it’s fly-tipped. Don’t get caught out — avoid a #RubbishDeal
November 21, 2025 at 5:38 PM
Fly-tipping isn’t just ugly — it’s costly. 💸 It costs the UK over £100m a year — money that could go to 🏫 schools, 🌳 parks & 📚 libraries. Say NO to rogue operators. Say YES to cleaner communities. ️ Report it 👉 www.gov.uk/report-flyti...
November 19, 2025 at 6:08 PM
"Only £40 cash, mate. We’ll sort it.” Translation: they’ll dump it, and you’ll get the fine. Don’t fall for a #RubbishDeal — if there’s no licence or receipt, it’s not legit. Help stop fly-tipping and keep our community clean.

Having a pre-Christmas clear out? Don’t get caught out by a #RubbishDeal

If you hand your rubbish over to an unlicensed waste carrier – and they dump it illegally – YOU could be held responsible.

Protect yourself and your community. Say no to a #RubbishDeal.
November 12, 2025 at 1:56 PM
We’ve launched #FightFlyTipping Fortnight to protect the places we love and stop unlicensed traders dumping our rubbish, ruining neighbourhoods & costing public services.

Take 3 steps:

1️⃣ Ask for their licence
2️. Check it’s valid
3️. Get a receipt

In Heckmondwike, we proved small changes make a big difference.

Our ‘Still Littering’ campaign earlier in the year helped cut littering by 41%

Take it home or find a bin. #StillLittering #LoveWhereYouLive
