'Stop the Drop' Campaign

Find out what you can do to support CPRE’s Stop the Drop campaign. The Stop the Drop campaign tackles the litter and fly-tipping problem that is despoiling our beautiful countryside. It’s headed by CPRE's President and author Bill Bryson, a passionate anti-litter campaigner and champion of the countryside.

You can support the campaign by pledging to Stop the Drop. You can take action by lobbying local authorities, Government and other bodies legally responsible for keeping land litter-free.

You can help make a difference and demonstrate to Government and other authorities the strength of support behind Stop the Drop.
Visit the National CPRE website for more information.
