Keep Cornwall Clean

#KeepCornwallClean is a social movement that helps to protect Cornwall from:

• litter
• dog fouling
• fly tipping
• other environmental crimes

The Council has supported the brilliant Two-Minute Beach Clean community initiative with a donation of £9,000. This has provided tools and site boards. The initiative has resulted in about 1,000 litter pick events and the removal of about a tonne of waste each year so far.

The authority helps fund and support Clean Cornwall. This partnership has:

• facilitated the collection of 707 bags of litter since 1 January 2019
• distributed £86,4040 of High Street funding grants to 69 community projects in the last year
• marshalled 1,064 volunteer litter pickers sweeping the streets, beaches, parks and coast paths of Cornwall

The Council has also set up a Community Enforcement partnership Programme. Through this we have trained our civil parking enforcement officers to issue Fixed Penalty Notices for:

• dog fouling
• littering
• dogs on beaches

Fixed penalty notices issued have jumped from 17 in 2018/19 to 84 in 2019/20.

The partnership has carried out 1,930 high-visibility dog fouling patrols since 2016.
