Keep Britain Tidy is an environmental charity that works to inspire, educate and enable everyone in this country to #LoveWhereYouLive.
@keepbritaintidy.bsky.social@keepbritaintidy.bsky.socialThe numbers are in: an incredible 451,887 bags of litter removed from our environment during this year’s #GBSpringClean!
Thousands of you took action to show you #LoveWhereYouLive by getting outdoors and caring for the environment on your doorstep. Thank you to each and every #LitterHero 💚
@keepbritaintidy.bsky.socialLitter picking brings people together 💚
Around half of #GBSpringClean volunteers said they met new people and made friends while taking part in a clean up. Join the Great British Spring Clean and help create cleaner, more connected communities.
@keepbritaintidy.bsky.social@keepbritaintidy.bsky.socialIt was a privilege to see so many professionals committed to bridging the gap between strategy and action. We’re already looking ahead to 2027—keep an eye on your inbox for the date and venue announcement coming very soon!
@keepbritaintidy.bsky.socialWe’d like to say a big thank you to those who joined us at The Midland Hotel, Manchester yesterday. The insightful keynote address on the evolution of waste policy and Kim Leadbeater MP MBE's special address to our (admittedly chilly!) walking tour of Spinningfields, the energy was incredible.
@keepbritaintidy.bsky.socialThat’s a wrap on the Keep Britain Tidy Network Conference 2026! 🏆
@keepbritaintidy.bsky.socialWrapping up a day of insight and action 🎤

@keepbritaintidy.bsky.socialOut on the streets of Manchester 🏙️🍃
Delegates are exploring Spinningfields with the Green Flag Award team to see world-class urban space management in action.
@keepbritaintidy.bsky.socialLocal authorities now have greater flexibility to seize vehicles involved in fly-tipping under the latest updates.
@keepbritaintidy.bsky.social“Don't forget you've got waste carriers, brokers, dealers reform. You've got digital waste tracking, and the forthcoming guidance on fixed penalty notices for fly-tipping and fly tip cost recovery.”
@keepbritaintidy.bsky.social🚨 Cutting through the red tape to tackle waste crime Jenny Watts is breaking down how local authorities can use scrap metal licensing and vehicle seizure powers to turn legislation into real, on-the-ground action.
@keepbritaintidy.bsky.socialLive from the litter and fly-tipping masterclass 📋
Delegates are hearing practical lessons and strategies from Keep Britain Tidy and local councils.
@keepbritaintidy.bsky.social@keepbritaintidy.bsky.socialRaymond Gianotten - "All those countries and states that have implemented DRS, see recycling rates go up to 90%, which is also the ultimate target here in the UK."
@keepbritaintidy.bsky.socialThe transition is officially underway. With fee modulation starting this year, the message to producers is clear: the more recyclable your packaging, the less you pay. It’s no longer just about management—it’s about design.
@keepbritaintidy.bsky.socialWe are live at the #KeepBritainTidy Network Conference for a headline session on the ‘Great Policy Shift.’ We’re hearing from the industry leaders responsible for driving the implementation of Extended Producer Responsibility (pEPR) and the Deposit Return Scheme (DRS).
@keepbritaintidy.bsky.social"If @marycreagh.bsky.social CBE MP could have been here, she would have begun by saying a big thank you for the tireless often unsung work you do every day to keep your communities cleaner, greener and better places to live."
@keepbritaintidy.bsky.social"As a result of our Fight Fly-tipping Fortnight campaign, which was delivered locally by 70 Keep Britain Tidy Network members, we estimate that up to 2.15m people are more likely to check a waste carrier’s credentials before paying them. This is what we can achieve when we work together."
@keepbritaintidy.bsky.socialDr Anna Scott highlights how local authorities and partners across our network are working together to tackle litter and fly-tipping and improve communities, turning collaboration into real, measurable impact.
