Welcome to Tipton Litter Watch

Tipton Litter Watch is an award winning community led environmental charity commissioned annually as part of Sandwell’s Children and Young People’s Trust Partnership.

Whilst the charity is small with only two paid employees, Tipton Litter Watch’s strong partnerships with young people, the public and private sector, local and national businesses, the local community and individual schools enable its work to extend into all areas of the borough of Sandwell, covering the six towns of Tipton, Wednesbury, West Bromwich, Oldbury, Smethwick and Rowley Regis.

The charity’s award winning environmental and educational school's programme ‘Think Before You Throw’ works in partnership with young people, local schools and education centres across Sandwell to teach the importance of sustainability directly to young people (aged 5-18 years old) in Sandwell.

Our charity's belief is "one person can make a difference; and every person should want to try".

"As Secretary of State for Environment, I really appreciate the efforts your charity has gone to in raising awareness of litter and its associated environmental problems; particularly your hard work, dedication and what you have achieved with such a small team and an even smaller budget. It is heartening also to read about Sandwell's young people taking an active role in improving the quality of life within their schools and local areas and the upbeat and encouraging feedback provided by your volunteers, partners and schools involved in your programme is proof of the fantastic contribution your charity is making on this important issue. Keep up the good work!" Hilary Benn MP
