Jewellery Quarter BID

Fed up with litter? We are too! We are asking local businesses and residents to spare a little of your time to volunteer with us, the Jewellery Quarter Business Improvement District (JQBID), to pick up the litter across Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter. We will provide bin bags, gloves and litter pickers which you can pick up and return from the Golden Square, Warstone Lane, any time between 2 and 4. At 4 pm we will meet back in the square for a photo opportunity! 
The JQBID will supplement this community eff­ort by funding additional cleaning across the JQ from October.
Window Stickers will be available to show your support for a Cleaner JQ. Keep up to date and spread the word by using #KeepJQClean Help us make the JQ a cleaner place to Live, Learn, Work and Visit. Please sign up so that we know you are coming and check the FAQs for further information. 
 
FAQs
 
How will it work? The event will run for two hours from 2 - 4pm. Make your way to the Golden Square first (Warstone Lane, next to Rose Villa Tavern &amp; Chamberlain Clock) where a member of staff will greet you, hand you the essentials and direct you to a cluster of streets. Once you arrive at your destination another BID team member will be there to welcome you and assign a street. When you are done, inform your BID team member and then return to the Golden Square to drop off your equipment and your full bin bag. After that you will be given a window sticker and a big thank you! At 4pm the event will finish and anyone left will be invited to a photo opportunity on the Golden Square. 
How long do I need to volunteer for?
It is entirely up to you -- do as much (or as little) as you like, we will be greatful for your support. 
What will I be cleaning?
We will only be asking you to pick up litter, nothing else. We will provide gloves, bags and litter pickers for you. Once you have collected your equipment a staff member will direct you to a cluster of streets where a member of our team will be. Together we will be picking up as much litter as we can in the two hours.
What if I see broken glass or other bits of rubbish? If you spot any broken glass, fly tipping or similar then please report it to a member of the JQBID team. We do not expect you to do anything that you are uncomfortable with. 
 
Please note under 16 years old you must be accompanied by an adult of 18 years or older who are responsible for them.
