Da Voar Redd Up 2024
Da Voar Redd Up will take place from Saturday 20 April – Friday 26 April 2024.
The Shetland Seabird Tours family regularly clean up litter ‘bruck’ on Shetland beaches. We spend a lot of time beachcombing & taking part in beached bird surveys & take great satisfaction in removing ugly, damaging manmade items from the shoreline. Alongside this however, we have really enjoyed taking part in this award winning, community clean up weekend & are looking forward to taking part in this well organised one! Hope you will take part too? See you out there!
“Da Voar Redd Up is the UK’s most successful community litter-picking event, with around 4,500 people (20% of Shetland’s population) volunteering each year. The Redd Up makes a huge contribution to the protection of Shetland’s natural environment and wildlife, clearing Shetland’s beaches, coastlines and roadsides of litter and the debris washed up by winter storms.
2024 registration open
To register for this year’s Redd Up please completed our online form here.
Registration will close on Wednesday 17 April at 17:00.
Why should you register?
- When you register, you will be provided with Redd Up bags. These identify Redd Up rubbish, making it easier for us to record it.
- Registering allows you to choose a Redd Up location and allows us to make sure that different groups are not cleaning the same places. This not only means that more of Shetland gets cleaned, but also gives us a more accurate record the amount of litter that has been collected.
- During registration, you will be able to specify a roadside collection point for all of your bags. Redd Up rubbish can only be picked up from these locations
What happens after registration?
After you have registered, we’ll prepare your bags for you and let you know when and where they can be picked up. Unfortunately, we are not able to provide gloves. If your chosen location is unavailable, we’ll get in touch to discuss alternative options.” Shetland Amenity Trust 2024
