Great British Spring Clean

Litter remains a scourge of modern society, but the Great British Spring Clean (17 March- 2 April), is an annual opportunity to focus on the problem and take action to deal with it.

Many CPRE members across Northern Lincolnshire already regularly litter pick in their local community and they have also pledged to join in with the Great Spring Clean this year.

Keep Britain Tidy has recently conducted research which reveals that more than 8.5 million adults in the UK have done litter-picking at least once in the past six months. Therefore, in 2023, Keep Britain Tidy is focusing on the pride ‘Litter Heroes’ have for their local community.

If you have not already promised to take part, you can register at the Keep Britain Tidy website, make a pledge as an individual, group or school to collect a certain number of bags of rubbish for the Spring Clean this year and simply go out and do it. Then the further challenge is to maintain the litter picking throughout the rest of the year!
