World Cleanup Day – 20 September 2025

Every year on 20 September, people across the globe unite for World Cleanup Day, a day dedicated to tackling the global waste crisis through community action and awareness.

In 2024, this initiative became an official United Nations International Day, signaling its growing impact.

How You Can Help in Blackpool

Get involved today with the Keep Blackpool Tidy campaign

The Keep Blackpool Tidy (KBT) initiative is your perfect local partner for action. You can:

  • Take the KBT pledge at bronze, silver, or gold level
  • Become a KBT volunteer and request a litter-picking kit and join organised clean-ups

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle 

Cut down on waste by buying less and choosing second-hand items instead – you might even discover some hidden treasures in our Re-Use Shop! Check out our Second Hand September blog for more tips and information.

Be sure to recycle all eligible items using the correct bins. If you’re unsure what goes where, visit our ‘What Goes Where’ guide.

Spread the Word

Boost the impact by encouraging others, friends, neighbours, and schools to take part:

  • Share your participation on social media
  • Use hashtags like #WorldCleanupDay and #KeepBlackpoolTidy
  • Inspire others with your story and actions
