An army of almost 20,000 volunteers gathered during April 2008 to wage war on litter across Scotland as part of Keep Scotland Beautiful’s National Spring Clean campaign. In the second year since the campaign’s revival, volunteers gathered enough black bin bags full of litter to line the Royal Mile in Edinburgh (from the castle esplanade to the Scottish Parliament) 12 times over!
Many groups take part in voluntary clean ups or litter picks throughout the year but National Spring Clean provides an annual focus and opportunity for schools, youth clubs, environmental organisations, voluntary groups, community gatherings, and businesses, to play an important part in a bigger, coordinated campaign.
To find out where spring cleans took place in your area during 2008, please see the map below.
