The Great British Spring Clean 2021, from Keep Britain Tidy (KBT) 28 May to 13 June 2021

In 2020, our outdoor spaces and places have mattered to us more than ever before. They have been a sanctuary during challenging times, and from 28 May 2021, KBT will be calling on hundreds of thousands of #LitterHeroes to join in and show some love for those special places that helped us though lockdown.

KBT will provide all the advice and support necessary for everyone to safely take part in the Great British Spring Clean 2021.
