Great British Spring Clean 3rd-5th March 2017

Keep Britain Tidy is launching another annual campaign to get half a million people out and about cleaning up their local communities in March 2017.

The brand new Great British Spring Clean will roll out for the first time in 2017 from 3rd-5th March, with a view to it becoming an annual event helping to bring people together and clean up the country.

TV wildlife presenter and children's favourite Steve Backshall is lending his support to the campaign, which is backed by the key anti-litter charities including Keep Britain Tidy, Keep Wales Tidy, Keep Scotland Beautiful ,Marine Conservation Society and Surfers Against Sewage.

Many other organisations will also be supporting the clean up including the Women's Institute, the National Trust and the RSPCA, as well as a range of businesses.

Keep Britain Tidy will be encouraging and supporting groups and individuals who want to 'do their bit' to help clear up the litter that blights our streets, parks and beaches.

Litter remains a huge problem across the country, causing harm to the environment and wildlife, with councils in England having to spend over '700 million on street cleaning services every year.
