World Cleanup Day takes place on September 20, 2025. It was proclaimed by the United Nations in 2023 and has been officially observed from 2024 onwards. The day originated as a civic movement and has since developed into a global environmental action initiative.
The aim of the day is to raise awareness about the global waste crisis and to encourage coordinated clean-up efforts across countries. It promotes responsible waste management, recycling and environmental protection.
World Cleanup Day mobilizes millions of volunteers worldwide to take part in clean-up campaigns. The United Nations supports the initiative as a way to strengthen environmental cooperation and sustainable development.
