Join a CleanUp
Individuals who want to join can find an existing group in their neighborhood on this website. All important information about the CleanUp can be found in the details of the respective CleanUp.
Together we can do something against littering!
Every year, huge amounts of garbage end up in the world's oceans. Millions of tons of plastic pollute nature. A large part of the garbage ends up in the seas via the rivers – also in Europe. This must be prevented!
The Ems offers important habitats!
The Ems - with its 371 kilometers length - has its source in North Rhine-Westphalia, flows through Lower Saxony, the Netherlands and finally flows into the North Sea. On its banks and in the water, it offers a nutrient-rich habitat for a large number of plant and animal species. In addition, the Ems is an important river for the economy, as it is used as an important shipping canal.
Together with our partners and you, we want to free the banks of the Ems from garbage. From the source to the mouth. In addition, our long-term goal is to raise awareness that rubbish should not be thrown away carelessly or, even better, avoided in the first place! Are you in?
Organize a CleanUp in your region
Anyone can initiate a group. Municipalities, municipal waste disposal companies, local groups of environmental organizations, sports clubs, social institutions, day care centers and schools, companies, but also neighborhood initiatives - they are all very welcome.
Create a CleanUp and invite your fellow campaigners. Together you can make a difference!

Deutsche Postcode Lotterie
Working together for a greener future: Deutsche Postcode Lottery is actively committed to our environment as a main partner.
The mission of the social lottery is to create a better world for us humans and to preserve our planet. The RhineCleanUp not only strengthens social togetherness, but also triggers a rethinking of environmental pollution and its associated consequences. After our employees have already actively supported the big "Rhine CleanUp" in 2018, 2019 and 2020, with the help of our participants we are again financially supporting the project from source to mouth this year. In addition to measures to promote the campaign, work equipment such as trash bags, high-visibility vests, gloves and grabs will be provided for the many thousands of helpers to clean up Germany's second-largest river and its tributaries. And the best thing about it is that anyone can join in and make their contribution to a clean environment.

IGSU
Newly formed in May 2007, the IGSU is an Interest Group for a Clean Environment in Switzerland. The initiative was taken by two private sector recycling organisations, the IGORA Cooperative for Aluminium Recycling and PRS PET-RECYCLING Switzerland. The two organisations have been working together against littering since 2004. Nonetheless, they sought to support activities against littering on a larger scale and have therefore founded the IGSU.
