Welcome to OxClean
OxClean is an Oxford Civic Society initiative dedicated to keeping Oxford clean and tidy all year round – ensuring that our beautiful city is a welcoming and pleasant place for people to live, work and visit. We work in partnership with Oxford City Council, The Oxford Times and local community groups and schools.
We have achieved a great deal but there is still much work to be done whilst litter continues to be dropped, blown around and to accumulate in our streets and public places.
We tackle the problem with a range of activities which increase litter awareness and personal responsibility. We lobby the City Council and other organisations to improve facilities and services.
Spring Clean
We co-ordinate annual Spring Cleans. In 2013, 70 Groups from across the city took to the streets, public spaces and grotspots and cleaned up a large quantity of litter.
Year Round Litter Picks
We supply equipment and guidance in support of people who want to carry out litter picks at any time of the year.
Schools’ Anti-Litter Campaign
We raise awareness of the benefits of a litter-free environment to encourage pupils not to drop litter in or out of school.
Lobbying
We lobby the City Council, other District Councils and the County Council about improving facilities and services which will lead to a cleaner, litter free Oxford.
Poster Campaigns
We encourage the display of posters and roundels on community notice boards, in retail outlets, cars, buses and black cabs. We can supply copies of each item, as required - please email us, to enquire.
