The Great Bristol Spring Clean
Springing into action for 2024
Grab your sunglasses and raincoat, book your litter picking kit for the Great Bristol Spring Clean 2023 and join hundreds of others on this year’s city-wide clean up.
Last year, we helped over 600 superb litter pickers join forces across the city. Not only did they meet some splendid people, they felt actively connected to nature and the ‘finds’ were sometimes quite peculiar.
To help get you pumped for this year’s Spring Clean, we spoke to some litter picking pros to find out why they think litter picking is so blooming marvellous – come rain or shine!
Don't let litter hog the hedge – join the Great Bristol Spring Clean!
Last year, brilliant Bristolians held 165 litter picking events.
In total, 602 of you took part in a litter pick (15 more than last year!) spending 1,007 hours litter picking, an incredible 309.5 hours more than the previous Spring Clean.
Don’t miss this year’s Spring Clean, as we have a limited supply of litter picking kits.
