Clean-up campaign ready to spring into action The Big Spring Clean returns next month after you helped make last year’s initiative such a success.
This year’s campaign will run from March until the end of May and will once again feature the key ways to help make North Tyneside cleaner and greener. They include:
Report any incidents of graffiti
or fly-tipping
Don’t drop litter and always
dispose of rubbish responsibly
Recycle as much of your waste
as possible
Form a residents’ group to help
In addition, there were 9,376 separate visits to the Big Spring Clean website. You can join us at one of the clean-up events that will be taking place in the borough’s parks. Bags, gloves, hi-visibility vests and litter pickers will be provided. The events start at 10.30am at the following locations:
