Nearly 600 tidy-up events took place between the middle of march and the end of April
The mammoth efforts of people across Dumfries and Galloway to tackle the region’s litter problem has been recognised.
And that has seen the council receive the Spring Clean Scotland Quaich in recognition of the work by communities, schools, business and the local authority. “Although 90 per cent of people agree litter is a problem across our beautiful country, what is inspiring is just how many thousands of people have played their part and enthusiastically joined a litter picking event during #SpringCleanScotland.
Keep Scotland Beautiful encouraged people across Scotland to take part in litter picks, gather data and raise awareness of the litter emergency during Spring Clean Scotland.
