Litter Free Dorset Summit 2026: Bringing Dorset Together for a Cleaner, Greener Future

On 14 January 2026, the Shire Hall Museum in Dorchester will host the Litter Free Dorset Summit 2026, a major county-wide event dedicated to tackling litter and championing sustainable living. Organised by Dorset Waste Partnership with the support of local councils, the summit will bring together environmental professionals, community organisations, businesses, and residents to collaborate, share ideas, and drive positive change across Dorset.

This full-day summit will include keynote talks from leading voices in waste reduction, the circular economy, and community engagement, with speakers from organisations such as Keep Britain Tidy and the Environment Agency. Participants can also take part in interactive workshops exploring key issues including plastic pollution, food waste, and how businesses can play a stronger role in sustainability.

Alongside the talks and workshops, the event will showcase inspiring local projects already making an impact—from volunteer litter-picking groups to innovative zero-waste businesses—highlighting practical solutions that are working here in Dorset.

Tickets are available via Eventbrite for a suggested donation of £10, which includes lunch and refreshments. All proceeds will directly support litter reduction initiatives across the county. Whether you are an individual passionate about the environment, a business seeking to improve your sustainability efforts, or a community group looking to get involved, the Litter Free Dorset Summit 2026 offers a valuable opportunity to connect, learn, and take action.
