Get ready now for The Big Spring Clean


South Glos Council will be running the Big Spring Clean campaign again in 2010. It will be starting on 1st March, a month earlier than last year so litter can be collected before the vegetation starts to grow. The campaign will run for two months.

To register your interest call 01454 863592 from today or email naturalenvironment@southglos.gov.uk You will then be sent an information pack and booking form. You can use the form to order gloves, bags and even a skip if necessary.

The official launch of the Big Spring Clean 2010 will take place on Saturday 20th March – the first day of Spring. If you can organise a special event for that day please let South Glos know so they can help to promote it.

You can also find tips, details of what's going on locally or register your group at these national websites:
