Why World Cleanup Day Matters

Global Reach: In 2023, over 19.1 million people from 198 countries participated, collecting 219,000 tons of waste.
UN Recognition: Since 2023, the United Nations has officially recognized 20 September as World Cleanup Day.
Beyond Cleanup: The movement encourages sustainable habits, better waste management, and responsible consumption — not just one-day cleanups.

Look for local cleanup drives organized in your city by NGOs or local councils.
Organize a mini neighborhood cleanup with your family or colleagues.
Practice circular fashion by repairing, reselling, or donating your clothes to reduce textile waste.

Over the years, 91 million individuals (1.13% of the global population) have participated as catalysts for a clean, healthy, and waste-free world.
