Great British Spring Clean

The Great British Spring Clean is the nations biggest mass participation environmental campaign.

The campaign by Keep BritainTidy encourages the public to make a real difference in their communities by either hosting or participating in a litter pick.

There are lots of reasons why it’s important to get involved. In Scotland 475 pieces of litter are dropped every minute, reaching a grand total of 250 million items per year.

Litter is an anti-social behaviour which is a blight on our environment and a financial burden. This is highlighted by the fact that it costs Perth & Kinross Council over £2 million per annum to clear up litter. Paying for the clean-up also diverts money away from other public services like schools and roads.
