Three Years of Keep Blackpool Tidy
Three Years of Keep Blackpool Tidy, and We’re Just Getting Started
This year marks three years of Keep Blackpool Tidy, and what a journey it’s been.
From community litter picks to neighbourhood champions, residents across Blackpool have helped transform public spaces, and volunteer numbers continue to rise, adding extra sparkle wherever they go.
We’re also getting ready for our second Thank You Event at Blackpool FC, celebrating the people who give back to their town.
But now it’s time for the next chapter.
Our Big Goal: Grow the Pledges
The heart of Keep Blackpool Tidy is the pledge system:
- Bronze – The pledge to use bins correctly by recycling, and ensuring any dog waste from walking a dog is correctly bagged and placed in bins (Blackpool have over 1,000 street and park litter bins available and can all take dog waste)
- Silver – The pledge to contribute towards the cleanliness of their street by cleaning/de-weeding outside their property and using the Blackpool council’s reporting form online for any street cleaning issues, such as Fly-tipping, Dog fouling, and graffiti
- Gold – The pledge to become an active member of the Keep Blackpool Tidy community litter picking group, and/or will look after my alleyway with neighbours to keep it clean and tidy
Our vision? A Keep Blackpool Tidy sticker on lots of wheelie bins in Blackpool.
Each sticker represents a household that cares about their street, their neighbours and their environment.
Whether you’re picking up litter, recycling right or volunteering locally, taking the pledge is your way of saying: this is my town, and I’m proud of it.
