Recycle for Hampshire leads the way in encouraging local residents to back Love Where You Live

To support the Love Where You Live campaign, Recycle for Hampshire is championing local community groups and litter pickers, as well as encouraging local residents to join the Love Where You Live, where they can sign up and nominate somewhere they love, pledge to improve their local area, or register an event to receive litter picking kits. Read more about the campaign or see what other groups are getting up to.

Recycle for Hampshire is the joint environmental communications campaign for all 14 local authorities in Hampshire.

The Recycle for Hampshire team also plans to work  with local schools to promote litter picking in their grounds. Councillor Leslie Keeble, chairman of the Project Integra strategic board said: "We know that residents and community groups across Hampshire are already out making where they live better places through activities such as litter picking and community clean-ups.

"By working with Love Where You Live we hope to offer them some well-deserved recognition whilst encouraging other local people to get involved and make a positive change in their areas."

We've put together a short video below featuring Hampshire residents talking about what they do in their local area and why they love Hampshire.

Keep Britain Tidy Ambassador Kirstie Allsopp said: "I wish Recycle for Hampshire the best of luck with their Love Where You Live work and encourage all Hampshire residents to get behind the campaign."
