There are currently several groups litter-picking in the town including the Ashplats Residents Group, the TAG group and a group organised by What’s Happening in EG (Facebook Page).

East Grinstead Town Council, when asked, co-ordinate bags, gloves and pickers for these picks and we send councillors and staff to go along to them. We also arrange for the bags to be taken away. In recent times due to the pandemic and there have understandably been less litter picks. However, the Council looks to increase this as part of Keep Britain Tidy Spring Clean each year.

Bins and litter come under MSDC but we are trying to encourage them to split the bins into rubbish and recycling and we do ask WSCC to access their land to clear the rubbish.
