Keep Basingstoke and Deane clean

Keep BDBC tidy campaign

Thank you to everyone who has supported our Keep Basingstoke and Deane Clean campaign for a second year by organising and joining in litter picks during our two weeks of action in February.

Keeping our streets, parks, play areas and countryside clean and tidy is a key priority for us at the council. But we can all play our part to reduce litter and stamp out antisocial acts like graffiti, dog fouling and fly-tipping which blight our communities.

We're delighted to see that the litter picks and tidy up events are continuing to take place throughout the year to help keep our communities clean and you can find these below.

Anyone looking to stage a litter pick or tidy up event can find guidance on how to plan and run an event safely using our Guide for litter pick event organisers.
