Keeping our community spaces litter-free and safe
We love where we live so we organise and support litterpicks, events and campaigns to make our local environment a cleaner, safer, more beautiful space for our community and wildlife. There are lots of litter picking groups in Inverclyde locations, each led by its own dedicated group leader. Green Tangerine is one of Keep Scotland Beautiful's Anchor Groups for 'Upstream Battle'.
