«Breaking News» Britain's worst Grot Pots revealed as Mail launches campaign to show how YOU can clean up the UK

Today the Mail is proud to announce our national campaign to get Britain picking up plastic litter is back — and bigger and better than ever.


The plastic pick-up — in partnership with charity Keep Britain Tidy, and endorsed by a host of naturalists including David Attenborough, the Prime Minister and even the UN — was a phenomenal success last year and a credit to our wonderful army of dedicated readers who made a real difference.


More than 20,000 people filled 17,000 wheelie bins with rubbish and picked up two million plastic bottles for recycling over one weekend.

But there’s more to be done. The scourge of plastic is still infesting our streets. Taxpayers spend £800 million every year to clear up after thoughtless litter louts and fly-tippers, and the system is struggling to cope.


That’s why this year we are supporting The Great British Spring Clean — which will take place between March 22 and April 23 — and are asking you to join with friends, family, colleagues, schools and faith groups to tackle the blight and turn the tide on plastic.

Last year, 370,000 people took part in the Spring Clean. We hope to have half a million people picking up plastic this year. 


You can make such a difference by sparing just a few hours to pick up plastic in your area.

Schools can also do their part and there’s even fantastic prizes to be won (see box below) — turn to pages 8 and 9 to see how two of last year’s winners used theirs.


To sign up, just log on to gbspringclean.org.

What's happening? 


This year, the Great British Spring Clean is bigger and better than ever. It is launching today, and the pick-up itself is running for an entire month — from March 22 to April 23.


We have got more than 300 local authorities on board supplying equipment and arranging for safe disposal of the collected rubbish and recyclable plastic and metal.


Communities will come together in small groups or as individuals on any day during that month to pick up rubbish, with the specific mission to remove the plastic that so often ends up in the ocean.

How do I sign up? 


Visit gbspringclean.org where you will find all of the information you need and all the details to join in — you just need to provide your name, address and an email.


Anyone can get involved (though children should be joined by a responsible adult). There are three ways you can help:


1. You can pledge to contribute to the campaign as an individual by picking up as much litter as you like, whenever you like, at any point during the month-long campaign.


2. You can organise a clean-up with friends, neighbours or a community group. Why not organise a litter pick with your workplace, place of worship or book club? It couldn’t be easier.


3. You can join an organised clean-up group in your area. In the coming weeks, groups will be set up and their details added to an interactive online map. Click on the map to find out details and let the organiser know you’ll be joining.


If there’s no group in your area, sign up anyway to pledge your support and we’ll keep you informed about the campaign in the coming weeks. New clean-ups will be appearing on the site every day so you can always go back and see if one has been set up near you at any time.

How can I join the clean-up?


First, sign up at gbspringclean.org. You just need to be able to pick up litter during the month — even one piece per day makes a difference.


How do I register a group clean-up?


If you’re keen to organise a group of friends, family or work colleagues, just select the private group option when registering at gbspringclean.org.


This means you will have access to a comprehensive guide with step-by-step information on how to organise your pick-up, where to do it and advice on running a successful pick-up and ensuring everyone stays safe. 


We are also urging hosts to return to the website after each event to let us know how much litter was collected and how many volunteers were involved.


Because your event is private, only people you invite will be able to join. You can organise as many clean-ups as you want between March 22 and April 23 at any number of locations, dates and times. 



Calling all schools!



One lucky school that joins the Great British Spring Clean will win £1,000 of Wilko products.


In March and April last year more than 126,000 schoolchildren came out in force to support the campaign, doing clean-ups in their grounds and surrounding areas, sending a strong message to children that everyone can make a difference by picking litter.


This year we are calling on schools across the country to join the clean-up party, starting with the Great Big School Clean day of action on March 22, the first day of the Great British Spring Clean. 


All of the schools that take part will be entered into a draw to win the £1,000 prize. If you can’t do your clean-up on that day, don’t worry — you can do a Great Big School Clean on any date up to April 23 and your results will count.


This year we’re hoping to get more pupils than ever. It’s easy: just join up at gbspringclean.org, where you can also get access to lots of great resources and useful guides about how to do a safe and successful school clean-up. 


If you’re a parent, grandparent or carer, cut out this box and give it to your child’s teachers.




How do I join an existing clean-up?


Go to gbspringclean.org and search our interactive map to find a public clean-up in your area.


Once you register to ‘join the clean-up’ an email will be sent to the event organiser containing your details.


They will then liaise with you directly about the clean-up, including timings and any equipment needed.


What happens when I register?


When you sign up to the Great British Spring Clean you can keep track of everything on your own online ‘dashboard’. This is your own space where you can add clean-ups, find useful guides and see what to do with your rubbish. This is also where you can record the results of your clean-up.


What about equipment?


If you need equipment — litter-pickers, high-vis vests, bags, gloves — your local authority may be able to help you as many will let you borrow the equipment. Just say: ‘I am planning to take part in a community litter-pick, can I ask about borrowing some litter-pickers please?’


Or you will find all the equipment for sale at Wilko stores across the UK and wilko.com from February 4. Visit gbspringclean.org for more information.


What can't I pick up? 


Never pick up needles — let the event organiser know about them and they will contact the council to remove them. 


Also leave broken glass and large fly-tipped items — let your local council know instead. Do not attempt a pick-up near busy roads.


How do I share?


Aim to recruit friends, family or colleagues to join you — this is a great way to spend time together and enjoy some fresh air.


Follow Keep Britain Tidy on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or subscribe on YouTube to keep track of what others are doing and share posts from your own account, using the hashtag #GBSpringClean to inspire others to take part.

What happens to the litter?  


We are asking all volunteers to separate the litter they find into three bags for recycling:



  • One for plastic bottles (which can be easily recycled)



  • One for aluminium cans (also highly recyclable)



  • One for all other rubbish


What happens then will vary from local authority to local authority. The website will be updated regularly as local authorities let us know how they want to deal with the rubbish you collect.


Even if you live many miles from the nearest beach, you can be confident your efforts will be helping protect the oceans from the scourge of plastic rubbish.


What happens afterwards?  


Count up and photograph the bags you collect. You can post these pictures with the #GBSpringClean hashtag. 


Group organisers should go back to gbspringclean.org to log the numbers of bags and volunteers and upload photos.



Prizes galore



The Mail is funding a prize of £10,000 to the individual, small business or charity making the greatest strides in creating sustainable alternatives to plastic or providing creative solutions for reusing plastic goods. 


We’re looking for inventions, eco-friendly alternatives or ingenious ‘life-hacks’. One runner-up will receive £1,000. 


We’re also offering prizes to three children (under the age of 14) who are judged to have made the most significant contribution to litter collecting over the course of at least a year. They will win £1,000 plus a fun UK holiday for their family. 


Both competitions will be judged by a panel comprising representatives from the Daily Mail and Keep Britain Tidy and TV presenter and keen rambler Julia Bradbury. 


To enter, explain in no more than 100 words why you or your nominee should win the prize, and include pictures. Please send your entry before Saturday, April 20 to springclean@dailymail.co.uk or write to Great British Spring Clean Competitions, Daily Mail Marketing, Northcliffe House, 2 Derry St, London W8 5TT. Terms and conditions apply, see page 63.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
