In a bid to beat its 2024 record of 45,000 participants, Keep Scotland Beautiful is on the hunt for 50,000 people to get involved with its biggest Spring Clean ever from 21 March – 21 April.
The environmental charity’s latest report – How clean are our streets? – revealed that 72% of all sites surveyed were littered. And the 2024 Scottish Litter Survey highlighted that 87% of people agree litter is a problem across Scotland.
Barry Fisher, Chief Executive at Keep Scotland Beautiful, said: “Our data clearly shows the extent of the litter issue we are facing across the country. However, we also know there is a massive appetite for positive actions: more than 80% of people agree they want to see increased action to clean up litter in their communities.
“Last year’s Spring Clean was, as always, a huge success, with more than 45,000 people taking part in every local authority area across the country.
“We know how much desire there is for a litter free Scotland, and with this year being our 25th anniversary as a Scottish charity, we are setting our ambitions high, and encouraging everyone to get involved and play a part in making this the biggest, best and most impactful Spring Clean yet.”
