Community groups can set up their own litter picking event in their local area. Register the event with Keep Scotland Beautiful and it will appear on their interactive online map, allowing other people in the area to sign up and come along.

A number of local authorities and other organisations can provide free litter picking equipment for your event.

In 2024 #SpringCleanScotland saw over 45,000 volunteers take part across all 32 local authority areas. You can read Keep Scotland Beautiful’s evaluation report to see what impact the 2024 Spring Clean had.

If you want guidance on how to organise your own event, Keep Scotland Beautiful has lots of resources on their Litter Hub which can help you get started.
