Big Spring Clean 2026 is in the air February 26, 2026 58 A Big Spring Clean event held in Waringstown in March 2024. Hundreds of volunteers are getting ready for action across our city, towns and rural communities in the annual battle against litter. Local schools, sports clubs, community and church groups, have once again stepped forward to take part in the Big Spring Clean 2026 which runs throughout March and April. Smaller groups of family and friends can also organise their very own litter pick events, was part of the Big Spring Clean campaign, which is organised by Live Here Love Here, with the support of Armagh City, Banbridge & Craigavon (ABC) Borough Council. As part of this partnership, the Council provide litter pickers, gloves, bags and hi-vis vests and waste collected on the day can be disposed of in household bins or clean-up organisers can arrange collection of the waste in advance of the event by calling their local Council depot. A spokesperson for ABC Council said: “The Big Spring Clean is widely supported across the entire Borough and the work that is carried out is making such a positive impact on the environment and wildlife, helping reduce the effects of climate change, and getting people of all ages outdoors and connecting with other people which is important for our mental and physical health.” Throughout the Big Spring Clean campaign, the council will be reminding the public of the £120 fixed penalties fine for littering and £400 fines for fly-tipping, as well as potential legal action. If you would like to become involved with a clean-up, please contact Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council on 0300 0300 900 or email ehealth@armaghbanbridgecraigavon.gov.uk for further information.
