As The Great Bucks Spring Clean is over for another year, the Council celebrate the great work done by the local community.
Between 25 March and 10 April, over 35 organised events took place in the county, with more than 300 litter pickers collecting over 750 bags of litter.
The Great British Spring Clean may be over for this year, but the need to continue looking after our streets and open spaces is still there. If you are part of a group that wants to get involved with litter picking, or if you’re looking to join an existing group, we can help. You can find out more information here: Organise a community litter pick | Buckinghamshire Council
Litter picking isn’t just for groups! As an individual, why not partake in the Litter Lotto? Download the Litter Lotto app and simply take a photo of you throwing some litter into a bin for the opportunity to win a cash prize, as well as an entry into the £10,000 monthly jackpot. Imagine winning £10,000 for throwing rubbish away? You really do just have to bin it to win it!
Peter Strachan, Cabinet Member for Climate Change and the Environment said: “We are so grateful to everyone who got involved with the Great British Spring Clean. It was fantastic to see so many people getting involved again this year. I hope the momentum remains and that people continue to be so passionate about keeping Buckinghamshire clean and tidy. If you missed out this time, there’s always the opportunity to volunteer with another group at any time of year or make a difference by yourself by getting involved with the Litter Lotto.
“Whatever small change you make to better the environment, it all adds up to a big difference – and that’s what counts!”
