September – Tidy Wales Week

This September we are calling on the people of Wales to take part in a week- long, nationwide, cleanup of littered black spots in towns, villages and the countryside.

Tidy Wales Week will take place between 15 – 21 September 2014 and we are hoping that people living in every corner of the country will show how much they care for their local area by getting involved in hands-on, problem-solving action.

Last year over 2,000 people of all ages did their bit to clean up their neighbourhoods and as a result many long standing litter blots on the landscape were removed. The week of action resulted in over a thousand of bags of litter being recovered by volunteers.

Get involved! Tidy Wales Week is for everyone from a group of neighbours to schools and local businesses…this is your opportunity to get involved and make a difference in your local community!

Register your clean up event today tww@keepwalestidy.org

Need help? Our project officers can offer assistance in organising clean-ups so make sure you get in touch with your local officer!
