Environment and community volunteering

Our Environment and Community Officers work with volunteers to:

• help maintain a cleaner, safer, greener environment in York
• create attractive neighbourhoods
• create a real sense of community
• improve health, wellbeing and inclusivity

Organise a community clean up event

We can support you, your community group, charity or business to organise a one-off community litter pick or clean up event.

Register to organise an event by using our online form:

We lend our support to anyone wanting to be involved. Ways we can help include:

• providing equipment, to help make jobs quicker and easier to do
• collecting bagged litter
• promoting community events
• offering practical advice
• sharing health and safety guidance

Great British Spring Clean

We support Keep Britain Tidy's campaign, The Great British Spring Clean.

You can help in your neighbourhood by taking part in a litter pick or leaf clearing.

The Great British Spring Clean campaign is held annually, but if you want to get involved before, during or after the campaign you can organise a community clean up event at any time of the year.
