People across Argyll and Bute are being encouraged to sign up for a national challenge to address the country’s litter emergency.
Environmental charity Keep Scotland Beautiful’s annual Spring Clean takes place between March 15 and April 28.
90% of people agree that litter is a problem across Scotland. If you are one of them, then environmental charity Keep Scotland Beautiful needs your help this spring.
Events are already scheduled in Helensburgh and Cardross, according to the charity’s online map.
The #SpringCleanScotland 2024 mass litter pick brings together people from across Scotland to help tackle our country’s litter emergency.
Last year more than 30,000 people across Scotland rolled up their sleeves and, equipped with litter pickers, bags and gloves, made a positive difference to their own neighbourhoods.
Now, Keep Scotland Beautiful is calling for people across Argyll and Bute to get involved.
With litter significantly impacting the cleanliness of 75% of our streets and roads, #SpringCleanScotland 2024 will inspire action to reverse the deterioration in environmental quality in Scotland’s neighbourhoods.
Barry Fisher, chief executive at Keep Scotland Beautiful, said: “We’re so excited for #SpringCleanScotland 2024 to begin this week, and it would be fantastic for as many people as possible from Argyll and Bute to get involved.
“We know 85% of people agree that they want to see more efforts to prevent litter in their area. It starts with us.
“No longer can we wait for someone else to pick up the litter we might walk past every day – so we are inviting everyone to organise a litter pick with friends, family, workmates or alone, or to join an event registered on our Clean Up Scotland map.
“Every action, however small, will help us reverse the litter emergency.”
