Great British Spring Clean

Spring has sprung, and the time for the Great British Spring Clean and Great Big School Clean has arrived! 

Between the 21st of March and the 6th of April, millions of #LitterHeroes across communities will be picking up litter across the UK as part of the nation’s biggest large-scale environmental campaign. Last year, more than four million bags of litter were collected! 

Litter picking is a simple action which makes a big difference, for communities and for wildlife. 

Litter visually taints our streets, parks, beaches and landscapes, and leads to people feeling less pride in their neighbourhood. It can also be mistaken by hungry wildlife as a snack, which can cause choking, airway and stomach obstruction, and ultimately lead to death.  

You can support Keep Britain Tidy by pledging as an individual, group, or school, to collect a certain number of bags of litter. It can be as much or as little as you like – every piece of litter collected makes a difference. So far, 417,261 bags have been pledged!
