The Clean-Up Day is just around the corner and will take place this year on September 19 and 20 for the 13th time. For many, this day has long been a fixed date in the calendar. During the last Clean-Up Day, over 750 clean-up actions were carried out – an impressive number that shows the great commitment to our environment.

This day offers a fantastic opportunity to send a strong message for sustainability. Through local clean-up actions, we can all make a visible difference together. Every single action counts and amplifies the positive impact.

With combined efforts and mutual respect, great things can be achieved. Whether as individuals or groups – everyone can help and take a stand against littering. Become part of this important movement and help make our surroundings cleaner and more livable.
