There are community clean-up events taking place throughout the city. If you, your school or local community group would like to work alongside your local communities to carry out a clean-up, then we can help!  Here are some useful hints and tips to consider when organising your clean-up.

Volunteers are not working for, or on behalf of Birmingham City Council and therefore the Council cannot be held liable for any loss, damage or injury caused as a result of the actions and omissions of volunteers.
