Pupils from Moorside Comprehensive School, Consett, local councillors and workers from the McDonald's fast-food chain will take part in a community clean-up in High Street and Heritage Park on Friday, June 6, from 9am to noon.
Restaurant manager Ed Robinson said: "We are keen to take part in the broader national campaign by showing the rest of the UK that the people of Consett care about their environment."
There will be prizes of pencil cases made from recycled products for those taking part.
