Community cleans are where Plastic Free North Devon started as a community organisation and they are still an integral part of what we do as an evolving environmental charity. As well as tangibly making a difference to our local outdoor spaces they are a fantastic opportunity to educate and empower.

All our community cleans fit under our Cleanse and Clean banner which aims to encourage everyone to get outside into nature and give back at the same time by carrying out a clean.

We organise regular cleans at local beaches, adhoc cleans in much needed spots in the local area, emergency cleans when the community calls for it and an annual clean on our Day of Action.

You can find out where our next clean will be on our What’s on page or our social media pages.

Cleanse and Clean Day of Action

Each year we organise a Cleanse and Clean Day of Action in North Devon and Torridge. We call on organisations, businesses, schools and individuals to get outside one the last Saturday of January to cleanse themselves in nature and give back with a clean.

This year it will be held on 25th January 2025

You don’t have to attend an organised beach clean to have an impact. Carry out a #2minutebeachclean every time you are at the beach. Every piece of plastic picked up ensures it is not harming wildlife. You can also go to the Keep Britain Tidy website to see where other beach and park cleans are happening across the country.
