Nationally every year it costs in the region of £858 million to pick up litter that doesn't make it into a bin. Just stop and think about how that money could be better spent.
Keep Britain Tidy's latest campaign is calling on everyone to "Get behind" its rallying cry to clean up Britain's streets.
Oxford City Council, working in partnership with Oxford Civic Society is supporting this campaign.
If you are interested in getting involved you can contact us on 01865 249811 or Email Us and we can provide you with bags and give you advice about collection arrangements.
OxClean - supported by Oxford City Council
OxClean is an Oxford Civic Society initiative dedicated to cleaning up Oxford and keeping our city clean and tidy all year round. Visit the OxClean website for more information and to get involved.
Working together we can make Oxford a cleaner place to live, work and play.
