Takeaway litter

Shops across the borough invited to join the crackdown on takeaway litter

​Last month, Havering Council launched the next stage of the Cleaner Havering campaign to tackle takeaway litter, starting in Elm Park. And this month, the campaign will be rolling out across the borough.

The campaign encourages takeaways, snack shops and supermarkets to sign a pledge, which commits them to encourage customers to bin their rubbish and to undertake regular clean-ups of litter outside their shop.

The shops will also display the Council’s campaign posters and put special campaign stickers on their food packaging.

Letters have been sent to hundreds of Havering shops encouraging them to take the anti-litter pledge. Recently, a number of McDonalds stores in the borough signed up to the campaign too.

Local businesses that want to also take the anti-litter pledge should visit www.havering.gov.uk/takeaway
