Joining together in Spring Clean increases the impact we can have on our fellow citizens and the City Council. It shows we are committed to a cleaner Oxford.
Every year we undertake our annual ‘Spring Clean’ in March, but this year, due to lockdown restrictions, we have decided to delay the March 2021 event until we have more information about permitted outdoor and group activities. So watch this space for updates, and we look forward to meeting up again before too long.
Meanwhile, there is much to be done to protect our communities and environment from damage caused by discarded rubbish. If you wish to continue to collect litter in the neighbourhood where you go out to exercise, you might consider purchasing your own litter picker as sadly we can’t currently lend you equipment due to lockdown restrictions. You can contact us on info@oxclean.org.uk for more advice about what you need and areas that you might visit. But do stay safe when you are out, complying with current government guidance and avoiding risks on fast roads or flooded areas near rivers.

We love to have your photos of your litter-pick, but please read these guidelines before sending them. The guidelines tell you about what pictures we can and can’t use, including some notes on privacy.
When you are ready, send your pictures to photos@oxcivicsoc.org.uk
Outside Oxford City?
OxClean works with Oxford City Council to arrange for the collection of rubbish. If you want to organise a litter-pick outside the city you will need to arrange collection with your local council. Click here for points of contact.
