People across Scotland encouraged to join Spring Clean

Spring Clean Scotland begins today and we're encouraging everyone across Scotland to sign up for a national challenge to address the country’s litter emergency.

Ninety per-cent of people agree that litter is a problem across Scotland. The #SpringCleanScotland 2025 mass litter pick brings together people from across Scotland to help tackle our country’s litter emergency.

Last year 45,000 people across Scotland rolled up their sleeves and, equipped with litter pickers, bags and gloves, made a positive difference to their own neighbourhoods. But this year we’re urging people to get involved and contribute to an even bigger national response.

With 81% of people agreeing they want to see increased action to clean up litter in their communities, #SpringCleanScotland 2025 is the perfect chance for people to get involved and take action to reverse the deterioration in environmental quality in Scotland’s neighbourhoods.

More than 15,000 people have already registered to take part during the month-long event. You can register your own clean up or find one to join on the Clean Up Scotland map.

Barry Fisher, our Chief Executive, said: “We’re so excited for #SpringCleanScotland 2025 to begin, and it would be fantastic for as many people as possible from across the country to get involved.

“We know 85% of people agree that they want to see more efforts to prevent litter in their area. It starts with us.

“No longer can we wait for someone else to pick up the litter we might walk past every day – so we are inviting everyone to organise a litter pick with friends, family, workmates or alone, or to join an event registered on our Clean Up Scotland map.

“Every action, however small, will help us reverse the litter emergency.”

We're pleased to be working in partnership with Keep Britain Tidy and Keep Wales Tidy to support the Great British Spring Clean.
