About this Event
We are thrilled to announce that we will be partnering with Lidl for a week of action across Glasgow to wrap up #SpringCleanScotland 2024.
We will be hosting a litter pick event around the area surrounding the Lidl store on
Glasgow’s Duke Street on Sunday 21 April between 10am and 12pm.
We will provide all equipment but please come dressed for the weather - a waterproof jacket and wellies or walking boots are advisable. Please also consider bringing water with you, however Lidl will be providing refreshments for everyone taking part.
#SpringCleanScotland is our annual campaign to address the country's litter emergency and do our part to clean up Scotland. By taking small actions such as organising or participating in a litter pick, you can make a difference to one of the country’s biggest environmental charities.
The suitable recyclable litter collected, will be placed in Lidl's new reverse vending machines, with 5p per item being donated to charity.
Lidl has become the first supermarket to roll out its own bottle return scheme trial.
Launched in February, shoppers in Glasgow can enjoy unlimited cash rewards in return for empty PET plastic and aluminium drinks containers via in-store reverse vending machines.
Rolling out across all 21 of its Glasgow stores, shoppers will (outwith the litter pick) receive a 5p reward for each eligible item that they return. This can either be redeemed against their shopping or donated to Lidl’s long-standing charity partner, The STV Children’s appeal, which it has been supporting since 2011.
Incentivising shoppers to play a part in reducing plastic pollution, there is no cap on the number of items that can be returned, and Lidl will accept qualifying bottles and cans purchased from any retailer, as long as they are clean and uncrushed.
