Would tidying up be a duty or responsibility
A duty. But no self-respecting Job Description should state such a thing - far too trivial a part of a job to be included. One might just as well start listing 'make the occasional tea'
I would say that tidying up is neither a duty or a responsibility, more just a given fact that would be expected.

Everywhere I have ever worked it is expected that you will keep at least your work area clean and tidy (and often other areas on a rota basis)
A duty would be to carry out the business of your company to the expected standard as explained in your staff handbook and job description, it would be your duty to be a honest loyal and reliable employee and to represent your company as such.
To understand and carry out your role to drive the business and not bring the company into disrepute
I understand Responsibilities as following company policies - H&S, Environmental, Equality, Quality, Management of staff etc etc
