Spring Clean Scotland
#SpringCleanScotland - Get ready for 2027!
Spring Clean Scotland is our annual campaign which brings together people from across Scotland to tackle litter. During the six week campaign individuals, communities, organisations, businesses, schools and local authorities from all over the country work together to clean up Scotland.
Logging your litter picking data on our website is the best way to highlight how much activity is taking place across Scotland and how many people care about litter, which we can use to influence local and national government to do more to tackle litter and waste.
To continue our combined impact we need support from volunteers, but we also need support financially. If your business is looking to help keep Scotland beautiful, please do reach out to ask how you can support #SpringCleanScotland.

about pride, respect, and coming together to make a real difference.”- Participants from #SpringCleanScotland 2026
