Keep Britain Tidy is 60 years old in 2014. And what better way to celebrate our Jubilee than to hold a Big Jubilee Tidy Up this October?
Head over to the Big Tidy Up website, sign up and order your very own Big Tidy Up Kit, and join the thousands of people up and down the country in our biggest-ever litter pick!

Supported by Waitrose, we’ve also invited some very special friends to help us… The Wombles! Emerging once more from their burrows on Wimbledon Common, Uncle Bulgaria, Orinoco, Wellington and co have reunited with Keep Britain Tidy to help us make this our biggest tidy-up ever – and we need your help too!
Also joining in the celebration will be some of Waitrose’s stores up and down the country and our aim is to get thousands of people ‘wombling free’, cleaning up their communities and understanding that small actions can be the start of big changes.

Since 2008, The Big Tidy Up has helped to encourage more than half a million people in more than 25,000 groups to collect nearly 120,000 bags of rubbish. 

And this year, our burrowing buddies are encouraging us all to think like a Womble, and get involved with a Big Jubilee Tidy Up of your own.
We have launched our new Big Tidy Up website, where you can sign up, order Big Tidy Up kits, download posters to advertise your event and get plenty advice on what you need to do.

What’s more, The Wombles will be wombling on Wimbledon Common once again! They will be back on our screens in 2015, for their very own television series, spreading their message of collecting and recycling rubbish.
