Spring Clean Scotland
Spring Clean Scotland
#SpringCleanScotland 2026 will be held between 13 March and 24 April 2026.
Spring Clean Scotland is our annual campaign which brings together people from across Scotland to tackle litter. During this month-long campaign, thousands of volunteers spend time outdoors cleaning up the environment through sociable, fun, litter picking sessions.
We are looking for funding and support. Please get in touch if you can support our charity and help us deliver one of the biggest mass litter picking activities in Scotland.
Each year we release bespoke posters and social cards with dates of our #SpringCleanScotland campaign to promote local activities, check out our Handy Resources page for these. We have also included an editable poster for you to share all the details of events with your community.
Our annual Spring Clean Scotland campaign will run from 13 March to 24 April 2026 and we're looking for tens of thousands of volunteers to take part, from businesses, community groups, schools and anyone else who wants to help us keep Scotland beautiful.
We would love for you to be one of them.

Join our interactive Litter & Waste Live Lesson, inspiring you and your pupils to take part in our annual Spring Clean Scotland Campaign and join the fight against litter and waste!
This year's Spring Clean Week Live Lessons focus on the impacts of litter, textile waste and what we can do to move away from fast fashion.
All lessons are curricular linked with follow up resources to take learning further. Lessons will be recorded, and the recordings posted each day for you to catch up if you cannot attend live.
