World Cleanup Day is an annual global social action program aimed at combating the global mismanaged waste crisis, including the problem of marine debris. It is coordinated by the Let's Do It World NGO, a global organisation with headquarters in Tallinn, Estonia.

From 2024, World Cleanup Day is declared an official UN Day, on 20 September annually, and has now been added to their Calendar of International Days and Weeks.

You can participate either as a cleanup organiser, or as a participant in an already-organised local event, or both!

Cleanup Organisers

If you’re organising, or planning to run, a cleanup event, register it and invite volunteers to participate!

Your cleanup event will appear on our global World Cleanup Day (WCD) map and you can share the link to your social media. In some cases we might redirect you to the national page to register, but don’t worry – it’ll still appear on the global page!

We can also provide you with the Toolbox on how to organise a cleanup, as well as official marketing materials to help you promote it.

If you can’t organise an event for the exact WCD date, you can still register any events falling before or after this date this year, as the results will still be counted!

Volunteers

Participating in cleanups on World Cleanup Day is exciting and rewarding – and you’d be contributing to the societal change needed to address the global mismanaged waste crisis!

Please check the ‘Cleanup Map’ in the button below to find an event near you. If there are no cleanup events close by, consider organising one yourself – you can find instructions on how by tapping on the link in ‘Cleanup organisers’.

Or just grab a pair of gloves, a few trash bags, and a can-do approach and make an individual cleanup in your area. Maybe involve close family and friends – you can still register it as an event, as every single person’s contribution to the activity counts towards the global total.

COVID-19

In 2021, we strongly suggest any event organizers to closely monitor their country’s regulations and official advice about event restrictions due to Covid-19. An event organizer should be ready to change any plans or to cancel events. Cleanups can be organized where possible and allowed.
  1. Organizers may gather people for cleanups with a recommendation to restrict the number of participants and to spread cleanup locations out so as to avoid people coming in close contact with too many attendees.

  2. Individual cleanups. As an alternative to large gatherings, people can be invited to clean their surrounding areas with their families or individually without massive gatherings.

  3. Digital cleanups. If you find you are restricted in your country, or the situation doesn’t look favorable for traditional cleanups, or you want to engage target groups with a higher risk for COVID-19, we propose a clean up you can do within your organization or home – a digital cleanup, deleting digital trash from your gadgets. Find out more about digital cleanup here.

World Cleanup Day has engaged more than 91 million volunteers since 2018, reaching 1.1% of global population – however, our goal of 5% of the world’s population (c400M) still applies. Your help is still needed.

100% of every donation goes to organizing World Cleanup Day and related environmental programs around the globe. Let's do it together for a waste-free world!
