EGEA Clean-Up Week

EGEA Clean-Up Week – Join Us in Making a Difference

The Green Team is launching a coordinated Clean-Up Week across all entities in full Europe. The goal is simple: Come together and take responsibility for the spaces we share by collecting litter and improving the local environment of your entity. During this week, participants can choose a day that works best for them to take part in the clean-up. Whether individually, with friends, or in organized groups, everyone is welcome to contribute and have an positive impact on the environment. Activities can take place in parks, along streets, in neighborhoods, or in nearby natural areas. To support your participation, you can request equipment such as gloves, trash bags, and grabbers from your local municipal utilities or waste management services. Many municipalities are happy to assist with materials and may also provide guidance on waste disposal.

If you want to make it even bigger, you can contact the local media, involve the general public or schools etc., creating awareness for the topic and publicity around EGEA.

By participating, you help reduce environmental pollution, protect urban ecosystems, and strengthen community awareness for sustainable living. Even small efforts add up when many people get involved. Let’s work together to create cleaner, healthier cities – one bag of collected waste at a time.

Choose a date within the Clean Up Week between 8th and 14th of June, collect as much waste as possible and dispose it correctly. That’s it!

Reward for participation

There will be a little reward for all entities, that participate. Just send a picture of you with the trashbags to the green team (green@egea.eu).
