The countdown is on for our Big Tidy Up campaign.

A staggering 5,000 groups have already registered to take part.

The month-long blitz on litter will launch on Monday 1st September. It aims to restore a sense of community pride and encourage everyone to clean up their patch.

Across the nation, community groups, schools and businesses have pledged support.

It is hoped more than 10,000 clean-ups will take place and half a million bags of litter collected.

With thousands of groups already signed up, the campaign is sure to get off to a flyer.

The Big Tidy-Up comes 50 years after the very first Litter Act was passed. We want the Big Tidy Up to be the biggest litter pick in history – but we need your help!

To register your clean-up event go to www.thebigtidyup.org. Your group will be sent a free kit to get you started.

Partners involved in the Big Tidy-Up include: BTCV (The British Trust for Conservation Volunteers), CleanupUK, National Federation of Women’s Institutes, CPRE (Campaign to Protect Rural England), Thames21, Waste Watch.
