The BIG Spring Clean 2023 is on!

The BIG Spring Clean 2023 is on! Get together with your friends and family and help to help make it happen!

Running to the 30th April, it's open to individuals, schools, groups and businesses from all communities who want to rid their local environment of litter.

In partnership with Belfast Harbour, the BIG Spring Clean is now Northern Ireland’s largest community clean-up and gathers tens of thousands of volunteers to either take part in scheduled litter-lifting events across the country, organise their own clean-up or signal their support for the campaign by adding a signature to the Live Here Love Here website.

Recent survey findings released by the campaign’s parent organisation Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful in their Marine Litter Report showed that, on average, 762 items of litter were found per 100 metres of beach surveyed, up from 375 items the previous year.
