Join the Great British Spring Clean 2024

Back for its ninth year, the Great British Spring Clean is the nation’s biggest mass-action environmental campaign.  

The Great British Spring Clean and Great Big School Clean 2024 will take place from 15 - 31 March, and you can pledge to pick up a bag of litter – or more.

Pledging to take part couldn’t be easier, simply pledge as an individuala group or a school and let us know how many bags you pledge to pick up.  

Last year, our army of amazing #LitterHeroes pledged to pick more than 400,000 bags of litter.

Can we count on you to help us clean up the places and spaces we love this spring, as Keep Britain Tidy celebrates its landmark 70th year of protecting the environment? 

You could even set yourself a fun #PlatinumPledge challenge to mark our anniversary such as picking 70 items, spending 70 minutes in nature litter-picking – or, if you feel ambitious, picking 70 bags!

The Environment Belongs to Everyone

This year we are spreading the word that the environment belongs to everyone! We are proud that hundreds of thousands #LitterHeroes from many different communities are uniting to help tackle litter – some of which has been in our environment since we were founded 70 years ago.  

Many of our volunteers regularly find ‘retro rubbish’ that was dropped many years ago but is still causing harm to our environment today, releasing greenhouse gases as it slowly breaks down in our soil and water, which contributes to the climate crisis. 

The good news is that litter-picking is a simple action that anyone can do. It makes an immediate and visible difference to the environment where we live, work and play.  In fact around 95% of people surveyed after 2023's campaign agreed they felt they had made a difference to their local area, and 91% said they felt part of a national movement that is taking action to tackle litter. 

So, if you want to protect our wildlife and the places you love this spring, join the Great British Spring Clean and pledge to pick up a bag – or more.  

And don't forget to nominate your favourite #LitterHero for a #GBSpringClean award! There are six awards up for grabs.
