🌍 Big Clyde Clean Up 🌊

West Dunbartonshire Council is joining partners across the region for the Big Clyde Clean Up, a major effort to protect and improve the River Clyde corridor. Residents, community groups, schools, and local businesses are encouraged to take part and help make a visible difference to our shared environment.

Two key community clean up days are planned:
• Saturday 14 March 2026
• Saturday 18 April 2026

Volunteers will be provided with equipment, and local organisations — including football clubs and businesses — are already stepping up to support the effort. This is a chance for everyone to come together, strengthen community pride, and contribute to a cleaner, healthier Clyde.

For more information or to express early interest, please contact Community Greenspace Officer Andy Devine on [email protected]
