Sign up for big clean
Buddies are being encouraged to get involved in litter picking.
This spring, environmental charity Keep Scotland Beautiful is calling on people across Renfrewshire to join a Spring Clean challenge from March 21 to April 21.
If you feel frustrated about the litter in your community or the places you visit, you can do something about it.
Spring Clean Scotland is the perfect opportunity to make a difference by picking up litter on your local beach, streets, parks and beyond. Get involved and help make the places we care about cleaner and safer for people and animals.
Every action, however small, makes a difference.
Just half an hour of picking up litter and disposing of it safely can help an area look cleaner and feel safer, and evidence shows it also prevents more litter being dropped.
Why not organise a litter pick with friends, family, workmates or your wider community? Or find one to join in with on Keep Scotland Beautiful’s Clean Up Scotland map.
Barry Fisher, CEO of Keep Scotland Beautiful said,“Across Scotland we have seen a steady increase in the amount of litter over the past decade. While this is a real challenge, we are heartened by the incredible work of litter picking heroes up and down the country.
“Our communities already play a vital role in taking action to tackle litter, with many people giving up their time to clean up their local areas despite the challenges of the last two years. We would love as many people as possible to join in and give Scotland a spring clean this March and April.”
