Litter Picker

Litter Picker tools provide a safe, contact-free way to collect rubbish from floors, outdoor areas and hard-to-reach spaces. This range covers professional grabbers and waste collection tools suited to commercial kitchens, hotels, schools, healthcare sites and public spaces. By keeping staff hands away from sharp or contaminated waste, litter pickers support hygiene standards and safer cleaning routines. Lightweight yet durable designs help your team maintain tidy indoor and outdoor areas with less bending, stretching and strain.

• Durable litter pickers designed for commercial cleaning, facilities management and public area maintenance.
• Ergonomic handles and trigger mechanisms to reduce hand fatigue during long cleaning shifts.
• Robust shafts and grab heads built to withstand frequent use in busy hospitality and contract cleaning environments.
• Options suitable for indoor corridors, kitchens and washrooms as well as outdoor car parks, smoking areas and walkways.
• Contact-free waste collection to improve hygiene and reduce risk when handling sharp, broken or contaminated rubbish.
• Lightweight construction for easy use by staff of all abilities and quick deployment on cleaning trolleys or janitorial carts.

How to choose the right Litter Picker

• Consider the length of the litter picker you need based on whether staff are working in tight indoor spaces or reaching into bushes, bins and hard-to-access outdoor areas.
• Look for ergonomic handles and easy-squeeze triggers if your team will be using the tools for extended periods during daily cleaning rounds.
• Choose a build quality that matches your usage level, with heavier-duty models for busy hotels, shopping centres and public facilities.
• Check the design of the grab head to ensure it can securely hold common waste types such as cans, bottles, paper, food packaging and cigarette butts.
• Think about storage and transport, selecting models that fit neatly on cleaning trolleys or wall hooks in your cleaning cupboard.
• Where hygiene is critical, prioritise wipe-clean surfaces and materials that tolerate regular disinfection.

Care and maintenance

• Wipe down handles, shafts and grab heads regularly with suitable cleaning chemicals or disinfectant to maintain hygiene standards.
• Inspect the grab mechanism frequently for wear, loose fasteners or reduced grip and replace tools that no longer hold waste securely.
• Avoid using litter pickers to move excessively heavy objects that could bend the shaft or damage the jaws.
• Store litter pickers off the floor on hooks or racks to prevent accidental damage and to keep them clean and ready for use.
• Do not use abrasive pads or harsh solvents on plastic components; follow manufacturer guidance for safe cleaning.
• Train staff on correct use to minimise strain, encouraging them to avoid overreaching and to work at a comfortable angle.
