Falkirk to spring into action for Spring Clean Scotland 2025!
Community litter picks will take place throughout Falkirk from 21 March – 21 April 2025, working with environmental charity Keep Scotland Beautiful as part of the annual #SpringCleanScotland campaign.
Participants will have the chance to take part in hands-on activities that show the importance of caring for the environment and contribute to a nationwide effort to keep Scotland clean and green, making a difference in local communities.
Falkirk Council ranked in the top 10 local authorities last year as more than 100 litter picks were completed across the area, and will look to go a step further this year.
Keep Scotland Beautiful also aims to beat its total of 45,000 participants in 2024 and encourage more than 50,000 people to work together to tackle the country’s litter emergency for the 2025 campaign.
Register soon!
Get involved by organising your own litter picking event with your family, friends, community group, school, or workplace.

Any litter picking events registered before 17 March and set to take place during the Spring Clean will be entered into a prize draw, with the chance to win one of two £100 vouchers for Helping Hand Environmental.

Councillor Brian Deakin, spokesperson for Climate Change, said:
This year's Spring Clean Scotland campaign in partnership Keep Scotland Beautiful is a fantastic opportunity for everyone - friends, families, schools, community groups, and workplaces - to come together and make a real difference to the local environment."
"We are very fortunate to have some fantastic volunteer litter pickers across Falkirk who work year-round to keep our streets, parks, and green spaces clean. Their efforts are truly inspiring, and we encourage others to join in.
"Whether it’s organising a local clean-up, joining a local litter picking group, or simply picking up rubbish while out and about, every action counts. By working together, we can reduce litter, protect our environment, and Take Pride in Falkirk.
