The Big Sweep competition

Pupils taking part in a community cleanup Roll up your sleeves and help make your area litter-free by taking part in our cleanup competition for community groups, schools and summer schemes.

All you have to do is organise a cleanup of your street or neighbourhood, register it with us and then tell us all about it!

To help you get organised, we'll provide you with all the equipment you need for the cleanup, including litter picks, brushes, shovels, gloves for adults and children, overalls and black bags. Groups will also receive a cleanup kit to help them maintain their area afterwards.

If you want to organise a larger cleanup, we can help promote it with posters or flyers. We will also arrange to pick up black bags of rubbish once your cleanup is finished.

Cleanups must take place between Monday 14 June and Monday 26 July.

Prizes

The competition will have one winning entry and two runners-up. To help decide the winner, we will inspect the cleanup area before and after its spring clean.
