Keep Scotland Tidy needs your help!

18 February 2011

Scotland's biggest annual litter clean up is back, and Keep Scotland Tidy needs your help!  So if you are looking for a volunteering opportunity, round up some friends or colleagues, choose a location and sign up to join thousands of others picking up litter to clean up Scotland - it couldn't be easier.

Spring Clean 2

Since 2007, almost 200,000 people have taken part in over 3,000 events over the month of April, collecting enough rubbish to fill 86,413 wheelie bins!

Now, as National Spring Clean celebrates its 5th birthday, the campaign period has been extended so that volunteers can also carry out litter picks in the last two weeks of March and the first two of May, and already there are almost 12,000 volunteers signed up to spring clean 161 areas of Scotland.

But, today Keep Scotland Tidy is calling out to all of you who hate litter and would like to do something positive to improve your corner of the community - do your bit and help make this the biggest and best clean up event ever.
