In November 2023, Keep Scotland Beautiful published their annual .

For the third consecutive year, people highlighted they were most concerned about the impact of litter on local wildlife and the environment.

This was followed by how people from outside the area would perceive the neighbourhood.

However a desire to tackle the issue and littering behaviour in communities across Scotland also came out strongly.

Barry Fisher, Chief Executive of Keep Scotland Beautiful, said: "Whilst we know Scotland has a litter emergency, we also know how many people not only want positive action but are taking that action themselves.”��

So, how can you get involved on the ˮ����app Network this year?

Get involved with Spring Clean��

Spring Clean is a ����

Last year’s Spring Clean saw more than 30,000��people roll up their sleeves and make a positive difference to their neighbourhoods across Scotland.��

89% of those that took part said that going outdoors to litter pick also helped them relax and unwind.

ˮ����app is once again partnering with Keep Scotland Beautiful to support people to clean up their local ˮ����app Network routes during this time.��

This year’s Spring Clean runs from 15 March to 28 April.����

We know that time can be tight, but��by taking even the smallest actions, you can make a difference to one of the country’s biggest environmental emergencies.��

Only got a couple of minutes?

Join the ˮ����app Action Team and we’ll send you a reusable #2MinuteCleanUp bag.��

These bags are designed to be kept in a backpack or pannier and used to collect a few bits of litter on your everyday walk, wheel or cycle, then emptied into an appropriate bin.����

As part of the Action Team, we’ll also tell you about other ways you can help ˮ����app’ work with whatever time you have.

Got more time? Join the Spring Clean team

Join our ˮ����app Spring Clean team and commit to regular litter picks on your local ˮ����app Network routes throughout the 6-week campaign.

ˮ����app can provide you with all the equipment needed and advise on how to have the waste collected.

Plus, we can help involve your friends and family too.

You tell us what you’ve been doing, and we’ll share the data with Keep Scotland Beautiful.
