Coming soon, the Great British Spring Clean, 21st March to 6th April (although note that the weather / wind is fine for it now, and may not be then).

Best place to get the best ‘Helping Hand’ litter picking-stick in Stoke, in person, is the AbleWorld superstore on the edge of Hanley. Sadly the sticks can’t be sent to Amazon lockers because they’re too long, though you can sometimes ‘Click and Collect’ via eBay. Stoke Council may be able to supply residents with sticks and also branded bags, or at least I’ve heard they have in the past. Not sure now, what with the bankruptcy/cuts and a likely high springtime demand.
