What is The Great British Spring Clean?
The Great British Spring Clean 2027 runs from Friday 19 March 2027 to Sunday 4 April 2027.
Now into its ninth year, the Great British Spring Clean is Keep Britain Tidy’s annual national clean-up campaign.
During the campaign, members of the great British public join forces with a range of partners – from big business and trusts to community groups and councils – to get rubbish off the ground, safely collected
and recycled.
- In 2019, over half a million people took part, collecting just under a million bags of litter.
- In 2020, despite the pandemic, hundreds of thousands of people joined the Great British September Clean with 89% agreeing that they felt that they made a difference in their local area.
- In 2021, #LitterHeroes pledge to clean up over a million miles of our outdoors.
- In 2022, we asked people to pledge to pick up one bag, or more, because one bag makes a big difference.
When is The Great British Spring Clean 2027?
