Join Petersfield Society volunteers as they take to the streets to clear the town of litter and then sort it for analysis and recycling.

The Society reported the findings of its most recent litter pick to a Government consultation that volunteers hope will lead to a deposit and return scheme for drinks containers.

They believe this could reduce litter by as much as 50% and increase the amount of recycled litter.

In the audio diary of this community-wide project, hear from nine of the volunteers including (in order of appearance) Dr Phil Jupp, local children, Damian Hinds MP, Dr Sue Stanley and Cllr Lesley Farrow.

The report was produced by Beth Svarovska who organised the event.
