Tidy Wales Week

This September we are calling on the people of Wales to take part in a week- long, nationwide, cleanup of littered black spots in towns, villages and the countryside.

Tidy Wales Week will take place between 16 - 22 September 2013 and we are hoping that people living in every corner of the country will show how much they care for their local area by getting involved in hands-on, problem-solving action.

Last year nearly 10,000 people of all ages did their bit to clean up their neighbourhoods and as a result many long standing litter blots on the landscape were removed. The week of action resulted in thousands of bags of litter being recovered by volunteers.

Get involved!

Tidy Wales Week is for everyone from a group of neighbours to schools and local businesses...this is your opportunity to get involved and make a difference in your local community!

Register your clean up event today and you will be entered into a prize draw with the chance of winning £100 worth of National Garden Centre vouchers.
