PEOPLE across East Lancashire are urged to roll up their sleeves, grab a bin bag and join the country's biggest clean-up.
National Spring Clean is organised by the Tidy Britain Group charity.
Every year scores of volunteers around the country get together to tidy up their local area.
The charity hopes the clean-ups will raise awareness of litter and waste issues and encourage people to take a long-term interest in the environment.
This year's event runs from April 1 to 30 and any groups interested in getting involved are urged to register now.
As an extra incentive, youngsters joining the campaign can enter a competition to win a tour of Granada Studios in Manchester.
To get involved, call the National Spring Clean hotline on 0870 241 2441 and the Tidy Britain Group will send you a free clean-up kit, which includes everything you need to organise a litterpick.
The Tidy Britain Group is a partner in the Lancashire Evening Telegraph's Grimewatch campaign.
