Regular litter picking keeps your grounds looking their best

A clean site makes the right first impression. Our litter picker teams work quickly and thoroughly to clear all visible waste from your grounds, car parks, pathways and outdoor areas. We collect everything from small sweet wrappers and plastic bottles to larger items like packaging and general waste. Many of our clients need regular visits to maintain standards, particularly busy locations like retail parks, business estates and schools. We schedule our clean up visits around your working hours to avoid disruption whilst ensuring your site always looks its best.

Our simple three step process for rubbish removal

1

Site visit and planning

We visit your property to see how much litter builds up and design a collection schedule that keeps your site clean.

2

Thorough clean up by trained teams

Our experienced litter pickers work across your entire site, using professional equipment to collect waste safely and efficiently.

3

Proper waste disposal and updates

We transport all collected rubbish to appropriate facilities and provide you with service updates, including any site observations.

Flexible rubbish clearance schedules to match your needs

Every property has different requirements depending on visitor numbers and seasonal patterns. We create litter picking schedules that work for your situation, whether that means daily early morning clean ups, weekly maintenance visits or monthly deep cleans. Our service includes proper waste disposal, with recyclable materials separated from general waste wherever possible. After collection, we transport all rubbish to licensed facilities, giving you complete peace of mind about environmental compliance. We also report any maintenance issues we spot during our visits, such as damaged bins or fly tipping that needs special attention.

Protecting green spaces and your business reputation

How clean you keep your site affects your business image and your relationship with neighbours and the local community. Windblown rubbish from commercial properties can cause real frustration for nearby residents and businesses. Regular professional litter picking prevents waste from spreading beyond your boundaries, showing you take your responsibilities seriously. This matters particularly for sites near homes, schools or green spaces.

Many of our clients find that investing in consistent rubbish removal actually reduces complaints and improves their local reputation. For retail locations and hospitality venues, visible cleanliness directly influences customer perception. A litter-free car park and entrance area tells visitors you care about standards before they even step inside. Some clients even share their clean site on social media, demonstrating their commitment to maintaining tidy, welcoming spaces. We also tackle fly tipping issues when discovered, arranging proper disposal through our rubbish removal services to keep your property looking professional at all times.

Frequently asked questions

Contact Anglian Land Services today to discuss your needs. We’re happy to offer free advice, site visits, and no-obligation quotes.

The right frequency depends on your site's footfall and exposure to wind-blown debris. Busy retail parks and business estates typically benefit from daily or twice-weekly clean ups, whilst quieter industrial sites might only need weekly or fortnightly visits. We can assess your property and recommend a schedule that maintains cleanliness without unnecessary costs.

We bring all necessary collection equipment including grabbers, bags and safety gear. However, having enough bins positioned around your site makes our job more efficient and reduces ground litter between visits. We can advise on bin placement and quantities if you need guidance on improving your waste facilities.

Absolutely. We provide specialist event rubbish clearance teams who can work during or immediately after outdoor events, concerts, markets and festivals. Our crews are experienced in rapid site clean ups, ensuring venues return to normal condition quickly. This service includes pre-event bin placement and post-event deep cleaning if required.

All collected waste goes to licensed disposal facilities where recyclable materials like plastic bottles are separated according to current waste management regulations. We handle the entire waste disposal process and can provide waste transfer notes for your records. This ensures you remain compliant with commercial waste duties whilst supporting recycling targets. Our man and van service means we can handle everything from small daily collections to larger one-off rubbish removal jobs.
