Keep it, Bin it: anti-littering campaign

A national anti-littering campaign to make littering culturally unacceptable in a generation.

Keep it, Bin it

The Keep it, Bin it campaign calls for an end to rubbish excuses for littering and encourages people to responsibly dispose of their litter.

The campaign has a clear call to action: if there’s not a bin, keep your rubbish and then bin it when there is one.

This is one of the largest government-led anti-littering campaigns to date. We have joined forces with environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy and are partnering with leading brands across a range of sectors to run the campaign. Together, we can make a real change.

Tackling litter is a government priority, set out in the Litter Strategy for England and the 25 Year Environment Plan, launched in early 2018 by the Prime Minister.
