National Spring Clean 2012

National Spring Clean 2010

National Spring Clean 2012 is just around the corner!

We have certainly got our work cut out for us this year due to the terrible weather!

Once again Keep Scotland Beautiful have given everyone a little more time to spring clean their neighbourhoods, from 01 April until 31 May 2012.

Registering couldn’t be easier:

Please try and contact us sooner rather than later to ensure everyone gets the right equipment!

We will try to be there on the day of your litter pick, to help with organisation and disposal of all the waste collected.

Thousands of people will be taking part up and down the country so please join the Litter Strategy Team especially during these 2 months and help to give the Falkirk area a good spring clean!

To fully understand the scale of National Spring Clean, visit the KSB website|.

What we’ve all been up to in 2011

Again none of this could have been possible without your help:

  • 72 litter picks were carried out during March and April.
  • Throughout the whole year communities, schools, council dept and businesses helped to facilitate over100 litter picks.
  • 100 High School pupils took part in a Trashdance flashmob in the Howgate, Falkirk.
  • We secured funding from ZERO Waste Scotland to help clear up flytipping at Cobblebrae Woodland in Langlees.
  • Green Dog Walkers signed on another estimated 600 pledgers.
  • The 3rd annual Canine Capers dog event was held in Dollar Park.
  • We launched a new initiative called Orphan Land.
  • We launched another new initiative Clean Zones.
  • We held our 2nd Litter Awards ceremony in January 2012 - photos of the event and winners will be listed on the Community Litterzone page.

Please keep up the great work!
