Walsall Council is backing Keep Britain Tidy’s national Great British Spring Clean campaign that is aiming to get half a million people out and about cleaning up their local communities.

The Great British Spring Clean Campaign for 2020, will take place from Friday 20th March to Monday  13th April and Walsall Council is looking for individuals, community groups, schools and businesses across the Borough to support the campaign by organising their own clean up event.

Anyone wanting to help Walsall be a cleaner and greener place in which to live, work and visit is encouraged to contact Clean and Green, who can help by providing litter pickers, gloves and bags to use on the day. Community events will also be shared on social media and the Keep Britain Tidy website, so individuals can join a litter pick near them.

Last year, over 563,163 volunteers joined forces at over 17,000 events across the UK to take a stand against litter. The campaign encourages volunteers, community groups, schools and businesses to help improve the environment through targeting litter and particularly plastic waste.
