Keep Stowmarket Tidy Week

Keep Stowmarket Tidy Week is part of our Community Champion initiative. This week-long campaign, held every Spring, is dedicated to bringing the community together to tackle litter and keep our town clean and tidy. Whether you’re cleaning your street, tidying up your business front, or taking part in a group litter pick, every action helps make Stowmarket a cleaner, greener place for everyone.

We invite everyone—individuals, families, community groups, and businesses—to get involved! There are many ways to participate, whether you want to join a group event or organise your own clean-up activity.

How You Can Get Involved

There are many ways to take part in Keep Stowmarket Tidy Week:

  1. Join a Litter Pick

Arrange your own litter-picking sessions throughout the week. Equipment, including litter pickers, gloves, and bags, can be provided from one of our Cleanup Hubs, and all are welcome. It’s a fun and simple way to help clean up your local area. Check out our Cleanup Hubs for more information.

  1. Clean Your Street or Business Front

Take pride in your neighbourhood or business by giving the area around you a tidy-up. Whether you’re picking up litter, sweeping, weeding, or cleaning signage, every little effort counts. Organise your own clean-up or just get started outside your home!

  1. Team Up to Clean Up Event

Join us for the Team Up to Clean Up event! This is a community action day where volunteers meet at the Recreation Ground to clean up key areas of Stowmarket. It’s a great opportunity to meet new people, work together, and have fun while making a difference.

  1. Arrange Your Own Clean-Up

You can casually make a difference by organising your own clean-up with family, friends, neighbours, or while out for a walk. Whether you’re on your own, or it’s a small neighbourhood tidy or a larger community effort, we encourage everyone to get involved.

Get Involved!

Get involved in Keep Stowmarket Tidy Week. Whether you volunteer for an event, organise your own litter pick, or clean up your own area, every contribution counts. Help us make Stowmarket a cleaner, greener place for everyone to enjoy!
