You may already be aware that the Civic Pride team recently launched its 2023 Big Spring Clean, it’s our first full Big Spring Clean since the COVID-19 pandemic so we’ve made some exciting changes.
This year we are pleased to announce we’ll be out and about in the local community meeting volunteers and offering them support to become a volunteer litter pick. We’ll also be holding group litter picks across the County too.
Further details can be found on the attached promotional poster and on our website www.durham.gov.uk/bigspringclean
There are a series of events where there will be free litter picking kits for anyone who comes along and signs up to be a volunteer litter picker, there’ll be 50 sets available to take away at each open session.
Don’t be alarmed if there isn’t an open session near you, we are offering a free home delivery service to anyone in County Durham who contacts us at litterfreedurham@durham.gov.uk
