About

Since 2018, World Cleanup Day has brought together millions of people for the biggest waste collection day in human history.

​

Every year, environmental heroes join in an epic 36-hour green wave of cleanups across the globe – beginning in New Zealand and travelling around the world before ending in Hawaii.

​

 World Cleanup Day 2022 took place on 17 September
in 190 countries — engaging 15 million people,
despite wars, conflicts and natural disasters.

​

In South Africa, more than 90,000 volunteers participated in 1,100 cleanups.

Let's make it even BIGGER and BETTER this year!
