Great British Spring Clean

We're supporting Keep Britain Tidy's campaign, the Great British Spring Clean. The official 2025 campaign will run from Friday 21 March to Sunday 6 April, but you can get involved before, during and after.

You can get involved in your neighbourhood by helping with a litter pick, leaf clearing, or clean up. Read more about getting started as a litter picker.

Upcoming litter picks

Our ward alliances and area councils arrange litter picks. Take a look at their social media pages if you'd like to volunteer. The events below have been arranged as part of the Great British Spring Clean and all equipment will be provided.
