What do we do?
- We provide environmental stations to help councils tackle the dog fouling and littering epidemic, dispensing 100% compostable bags FREE to the public
- We generate press and social media coverage, showcasing the positive steps councils are putting in place with the launch of our stations
- The stations are funded by PSPO budgets or by local and national sponsorship
- We support communities by bringing together councils, community groups and businesses in one environmental project
- Plus, we plant trees! For every station installed we plant a tree, promoting biodiversity and sequestering carbon for years to come
Trends
- Green spaces are becoming more important to us in the post COVID-19 climate, they help to improve our mental health but are becoming even busier
- The Government is announcing £80 million fund for green jobs and new national parks to kick start green recovery
- Dog ownership has increased, creating more issues with dog fouling
- Litter is becoming an epidemic and we are the dirtiest country in Europe
- Council budgets and resources are under pressure
Eco Green Stations
- Environmental (Eco) stations that dispense compostable and biodegradable bags to the public
Council Funded Model
Signposting space on the stations is also a key opportunity for Public Space Protection Orders and can be utilised against a variety of budgets where educating and communicating is key. Educate and empower the community to tidy up after themselves, to choose to do the right thing.
Our existing councils have utilised alternative fund pots to secure station funding where sponsorship is not required or wanted.
Testimonial
Bridgend Council is pleased to announce that they support Tikspac and are pleased to be a partner in this successful environmental initiative. With an initial 10 stations increased to 50 installed at key locations throughout the authority we have witnessed a remarkable change in people’s attitudes and feedback from our communities has been very positive.”

Waste Bags
Our bags are 100% Certified Compostable and so have a direct impact on reducing single-use plastic. Should bags not be disposed of correctly, they will decompose in 190 days leaving no residue. Educate and empower the community to tidy up after themselves, to choose to do the right thing.
