Litter Picking Insurance

When community groups organise a litter pick, often the land owner will require them to organise public liability insurance.

Litter picking also carries some other risks which are worth considering.  Particularly if your litter picking group comes across hazardous materials, works on a roadside or slope or is not set up with appropriate equipment.

Volunteers can and do seek civil damages from community groups where they can demonstrate that a duty of care has not been fulfilled and so having appropriate insurance can be a sensible move.

We can discuss your insurance needs whether it be for a single litter picking event or a series of events covered under an annual policy.

Typical Risks

  • We can organise litter picking insurance for a single event or a series of events.
  • A small number of insurers might include the liability for volunteers in a public liability insurance policy.  Others will require you to have employers liability.  We can advise you on the most cost effective way of protecting the group and your volunteers.

Customer Reviews

Charlotte has handled our insurance renewals for nine years now.  As a new Charity taking over a Community Library in 2015, it was scary navigating through compliance matter such as insurance.  Charlotte steered and helped us through in those early days and has been with us ever since.  She is always available; always responds in a timely manner and we never feel any question or query is silly.  She is a reassuring presence in our Operation.  We feel she goes the extra mile to understand our ever increasing financial and regulatory pressures of an entirely volunteer led Charity.

Friends of Wandon Recreation Park found representatives of Ladbrook Insurance to be very professional, but at the same time extremely helpful and took time in understanding what our insurance needs were and the best policy for us. We would highly recommend Ladbroke Insurance.

What a delight to work with Tim and his team. Totally professional, they responded rapidly to an urgent insurance requirement for our club after our previous insurers let us down badly. Tim took a real interest in what we do and came up with an ideal policy at a great price in record time. Thank you!

Litter Picking Insurance – Preparing for Your Event

Although many volunteers might find it frustrating when a council insists that they organise insurance for their civic community volunteering, it might actually be a sensible precaution for the group.

Litter picking on the roadside or where hazardous materials can be found carries some risk to the volunteers involved.

Preparation is critical and we have written a short preparation guide for litter picking which might help.
