OxClean is an Oxford Civic Society initiative dedicated to cleaning up Oxford and
keeping our city clean and tidy all year round. Our objective is to establish our streets
and public spaces as places designed for the safe enjoyment of the people. Our strategy
is to both clean up accumulated litter and rubbish and to prevent the problem
occurring in the first place. There are four focuses to our activity:
Spring Clean
In partnership with Oxford City Council and The Oxford Times, we promote and co-ordinate a programme of annual city-wide Spring Cleans. Local community groups, schools and businesses recruit volunteers who carry out 2 hour litter picks at a location of their choosing. Spring Clean 2010 was a successful and rewarding event with more than one hundred groups taking part. Visit Spring Clean for more details and what was achieved.

River Week
Following a successful event in 2009, The River Users Group are holding a River Week on Saturday 10 to Saturday 17 April in support of Spring Clean. Boaters and shore parties will take to the water and work two hour stints of clearing accumulated rubbish and litter. Visit River Week for more details.

Don’t Drop It!
Don’t Drop It! is our umbrella theme for preventative campaigns. We believe that solving the litter problem is a huge task and one that demands a multi-faceted approach.
- Public Awareness – the display of posters and window sticker roundels in public places across the city
- Targeting Sources, Causes and Places – litter bins, ‘on the go eating and drinking’, cigarette butts, flytip, Ring Road, car litter
- Schools' Anti-Litter Campaign – continuous monitoring of all Oxford’s Secondary and Primary Schools, Language School Voluntary Code of Practise
