YES! I support Trash Hero
our mission
BUILDING A MOVEMENT TO REDUCE SINGLE-USE PLASTIC
Trash Hero UK supports community action groups run by local volunteers. We offer hands-on learning about the environmental and health impacts of plastic waste, open to anyone to join. Our focus is on reducing or avoiding the use of plastic wherever possible and on creating the behavioural and systemic change needed to make this happen.
Each Trash Hero group, or chapter, is grounded in its local community but leverages the collective knowledge, experience and brand recognition of the wider Trash Hero network. This creates a broader momentum for change.
We create and support Trash Hero chapters both in the UK and overseas, focused on organising regular community cleanups to help people see that litter is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to waste.
OUR ACTIVITIES
Inspiring action on plastic waste
Our core activity gathers the community together in regular cleanup actions in coastal and urban areas. By working together they can see first hand the problem of plastic pollution – and learn what can be done to solve it.
Trash Hero Kids gives primary school children the ‘why’ & ‘how’ of taking action on plastic pollution and motivates them to become a Trash Hero in their everyday lives. A story book and activity programme support their learning.
