She is just seven months old, but already Coco is doing her bit to keep the environment clean and litter-free - by picking up rubbish and taking it to the bin. It all helps with Norfolk Day's Big Clean up call-to-arms.
Residents have hit out at the lack of bins being installed for an estate of 1,700 houses on the outskirts of Norwich amid complaints of overflowing issues.
3. Be involved in a community

Why not become a Beachwatch volunteer and join a beach clean hosted by the Marine Conservation Society? There are hundreds around the country or you can set up your own.
4. Sort out your own rubbish

Put any rubbish you collect in a nearby bin or take it with you and put it in your bin at home. If there are lots, then your district council may be able to help. Ensure that your local tip is equipped to accept the kind of rubbish you’re collecting and remember that commercial waste companies will collect rubbish for a fee. Try to separate rubbish into recyclable and non-recyclable where possible.
The battle to keep Norfolk free of litter and rubbish has begun – and we need your help! Today, the Eastern Daily Press has launched Norfolk Day’s Big Clean Up.
