The winning poster from Herefordshire Council’s Stop the Drop anti-littering campaign is set to feature on four of the council’s waste vehicles.

Harriet Sneyd from Lucton School won first prize for her eye catching anti-littering poster, as part of the council’s Stop the Drop campaign which featured posters, animations, raps and videos.

Macy Walker, a pupil at Walford Primary School was winner of the rap category in this competition.

Councillor Paul Rone, Cabinet member for transport and roads, said: “I was delighted with the amazing response we had to our Stop the Drop campaign from schools and colleges across the county. Harriet’s winning poster perfectly captured the message we want people to remember, which is simply to ‘stop dropping litter, start picking it up’.

The council’s waste contractor, FCC Environment, is supporting the campaign by sponsoring the cost of having the poster installed on four of its waste vehicles.

If you’d like to improve your local area by organising a community litter pick, free litter packs are available to borrow from Balfour Beatty Living Places by calling 01432 261800. They will also arrange to collect the bags of litter from you afterwards.
