Keep Blackpool Tidy: A Year in and a New Push for a Cleaner Town

Since its launch in December 2023, the Keep Blackpool Tidy campaign has made significant strides in improving the cleanliness and appearance of our town.

Originally launched by Blackpool Council in 2016 in collaboration with Keep Britain Tidy, the campaign has now expanded under the guidance of Enveco to include a comprehensive street scene focus. The goal is simple: to encourage Blackpool residents and visitors to take pride in the town by binning litter, reporting environmental issues, and getting actively involved in keeping Blackpool clean.

This year, we’re bringing even more attention to the campaign, with an added push as we head into the brighter nights of spring and summer. Our expanded campaign encourages everyone to take the Keep Blackpool Tidy Pledge, become a Keep Blackpool Tidy volunteer, and remain aware of the environmental fines in place for offences like littering, fly-tipping, and graffiti.

The campaign’s core message is clear: ‘Bin It, Report It, Together, Lets Sort It’. Whether you’re picking up litter as you walk through town, reporting issues like graffiti or fly-tipping, your actions make a difference. By joining forces with Enveco and Blackpool Council, we are amplifying the efforts of those who already contribute and reaching out to those who may not yet be aware of the impact they can have.

How You Can Get Involved:

  1. Take the Pledge: Show your commitment to a cleaner Blackpool by signing up for the Keep Blackpool Tidy Pledge. This is a simple way to take responsibility and show your dedication to helping us improve the town’s appearance.
  2. Volunteer: Our volunteer community is growing, and we’re always looking for more people to lend a hand. Whether you want to organize a local clean-up or simply join an existing team, your time and effort can help make a big impact.
  3. Report Issues: We rely on the community to report environmental issues such as littering, fly-tipping, and graffiti. Together, we can address these problems before they escalate.

Since our launch, we’ve already seen a fantastic response from the people of Blackpool. Residents, local businesses, and volunteers have all played a vital part in maintaining the town’s beauty. But we’re not stopping here – we want to continue building on these efforts and encourage more people to get involved.

Enveco and Blackpool Council will continue to provide visible reminders through posters, radio ads, and an online presence to keep the message top of mind.

Together, we can ensure that Blackpool remains a clean, welcoming place for both residents and visitors. So let’s keep up the momentum – take the pledge, volunteer, and help us make Blackpool the best it can be. #GetInvolved and let’s Keep Blackpool Tidy!
