Bristol’s community engagement team
The engagement team are your go-to for schools, community groups and getting involved in litter picks. They run projects, deliver talks and share information to widen the knowledge of the residents of Bristol.
They are advocates for recycling more and wasting less! They can (and will!) talk about how this is better for the environment and our city, as well as our wellbeing and pockets.

Request a talk
Are you a community group, school or youth club in Bristol that would like to know more about the city’s waste?
We can talk about recycling, refuse and litter for days and love nothing more than having a chat.
Just submit a request and we will see if we can help.
The Big Tidy
We’re working with residents, businesses, schools and community groups to bring the sparkle back to Bristol’s streets. Find out more about the campaign.
Big Tidy Businesses
Businesses play an important part in the helping keep Bristol clean. By organising team litter picks or working with customers to clean up local streets, there’s lots for brilliant Bristol businesses to do to bring the sparkle back to the city.
Waste Nothing Schools Challenge
We are challenging primary schools to see if they can help Bristol waste nothing. If you think your school may be up for the challenge, visit our Waste Nothing Schools page to find out more!
Clean Streets Forum
Join this exclusive group and connect with Bristol City Council and Bristol Waste. The Clean Streets Forum gives an insider perspective of what’s happening with waste across the city.
Here you can meet residential groups and individuals who are keen to share new ideas to support future plans for the city. In addition, our Community Engagement team will be on hand to answer any waste-related questions.
Please join the Forum. It would be wonderful to have you there!
