What Are 6 Reasons to Organise a Community Clean Up This Year?


Fly tipping has been and continues to be a significant issue throughout local communities in the UK. The government reposed over 1 million incidents of fly tipping in 2021-2022 which is a 16% increase from previous years.


Fly tipping is a huge financial burden on the government and costs the local authorities £1.2 million on average per day. The support of local communities organising their own local clean ups enable local governments to invest funds elsewhere.


These are just six of the key reasons you should rally your neighbours to organise a community clean up event this year: 

Encourages Responsible Waste Disposal

Community clean ups help to highlight the importance of responsible waste disposal in the future. 

Builds Strong Community Bonds

Working together with your neighbours helps to strengthen relationships and build a sense of community.

Improves Health & Safety in the Local Area

Community clean ups create a safer environment, decreasing the chance of rodents, diseases and hazards.

Improves Overall Quality of Living

Living in a clean environment helps to improve the overall quality of living for local residents.

Positively Enhances Economical Impact

A clean environment is attractive for businesses, tourists and potential residents looking for a new local area.

Helps To Protect the Local Wildlife

Incorrectly disposed waste is extremely harmful for local wildlife, disrupting their natural habitats.

Organising a community clean up is a positive way to tackle the issues of incorrect waste disposal, particularly from fly tipping.


Doing so will not only clear up the local area, but it will also build a great sense of local community with your neighbours and deliver a great sense of achievement once completed.


If your community is dealing with fly tipping of white goods, large furniture or general domestic waste, get in contact with a licensed waste removal company to responsibly remove the unsightly fly-tipping in your local area. The first step to a cleaner environment is contacting our licensed and friendly team at Derby Waste Removal for a free quote.
