Spring Cleaning with Purpose: How Businesses Can Benefit from the Great British Spring Clean 2025
The Great British Spring Clean 2025 is back from 21st March to 6th April, and it’s not just for local parks and high streets. Facilities managers, procurement teams, and cleaning professionals can use this national event to drive positive change within their own sites. Whether you're managing a school, food production facility, or commercial premises, now is the perfect time to refresh your cleaning routines, improve waste management, and make sustainability a key focus.
Why Get Involved?
This isn't just about picking up litter—it's about fostering pride in workplaces, reducing waste, and enhancing hygiene standards. A cleaner, well-maintained site doesn’t just look better; it can boost efficiency, reduce health risks, and even lower long-term costs.
Spring Clean Your Site: Where to Start
1. Refresh Your Cleaning Processes
Audit your current cleaning routine—are there any areas being overlooked?
Identify products that improve efficiency, like our Hyclenz Continuous Sack System, which cuts down plastic waste by 70% and speeds up bin changes by 50%.
Consider switching to chemical-free cleaning solutions to improve indoor air quality and reduce environmental impact.
2. Reduce Waste & Improve Recycling
With new waste legislation coming into effect in March 2025, businesses will need to separate recycling and food waste. Get ahead now by implementing clear waste management systems.
Summit Hygiene offers expert advice on setting up compliant, easy-to-use recycling stations.
3. Boost Hygiene Standards
Deep clean high-touch areas like washrooms, break rooms, and shared spaces.
Upgrade to touch-free dispensers for soap and hand towels to improve hygiene and reduce cross-contamination.
Ensure staff have the right training on best cleaning practices.
Take Action & Make a Difference
The Great British Spring Clean is a great excuse to review and refresh your cleaning strategy. If you need guidance on which products can help you reduce waste, improve efficiency, and stay compliant, Summit Hygiene is here to help.

Join the Movement
Since 2016, more than four million bags of litter have been collected by the #LitterHeroes of the Great British Spring Clean. This year, an incredible 394,234.5 bags have already been pledged! Keep Britain Tidy is calling on businesses, schools, and individuals to take part in the 10th anniversary of the campaign and show they care about the environment.
A recent YouGov survey found that 72% of UK adults feel less proud of their neighbourhood when they see litter, and more than 31.6 million people say cleaner streets would help them love where they live. By taking part, your business can help create cleaner, safer spaces for employees, customers, and the wider community.
How Your Business Can Get Involved
Organise a team litter-pick in your area and encourage staff to pledge a bag or more.
Support the campaign by raising awareness among employees and customers.
Share your efforts on social media using #LitterHeroes to inspire others.
Litter-picking is a simple but impactful action that anyone can do to make an immediate difference. Last year, 97% of volunteers said they felt they had improved their local area, and 86% felt part of a national movement tackling litter.
The Environment Belongs to Everyone
From businesses to schools, faith groups to local authorities, millions of people have taken action to protect our environment. Many volunteers have even discovered ‘retro rubbish’ that’s decades old, showing just how long litter lingers and the damage it does. By stepping up this spring, we can all contribute to a cleaner, healthier future.
So, can we count on you? Pledge to pick up a bag of litter today and be part of something bigger. Visit Keep Britain Tidy's website to get involved.
