Let’s Clean Up Europe!

A European Clean-Up!

Every year, millions of tonnes of litter end up in oceans, beaches, forests and elsewhere in nature. The primary causes of this littering issue are our society’s unsustainable production and consumption patterns, poor waste management strategies and a lack of awareness of citizens.

Do you want to be part of the solution?

In order to contrast the abandon of waste and to raise awareness about littering, European Week for Waste Reduction (EWWR) promotes a European Clean-Up Day, characterize by the international campaign Let’s Clean Up Europe (LCUE).    

The Let’s Clean Up Europe (LCUE) campaign is active throughout all European countries. By implementing clean-up actions, you contribute to solving the littering problem, but you also raise awareness about the amount of waste produced, the importance of waste prevention and waste reduction!

Clean-up actions can be communicated under the LCUE flag!

Highlights: The LCUE 2024 collected above 1,000 actions!

From 29th April to 24th November 2024, people from all around Europe collected littering and cleaned up beaches, parks, and streets.

The 11^th edition of Let’s Clean Up Europe was characterized by a huge involvement of citizens and associations all over Europe. Above 1,000 clean-up and plogging actions have been organized in order to help actively the environment, collecting littering and recycling it. Citizens, volunteers, and all kind of stakeholders took their part by collecting waste in our priceless Planet. The tangible impact of these actions has been shared on the social networks, where the participants posted their images of enthusiasm and joy in cleaning our Planet.

LCUE is about raising awareness, community, and fun! It is not our litter, but it is our Home, and we need to cherish it all together.
