National Cleanup Day: Volunteers Tackle Litter
On Friday, March 20, and Saturday, March 21, 2026, National Cleanup Day will take place. Residents, entrepreneurs, associations, and schools will join forces to create an environment free of litter. In Brunssum, cleanup activities will be held in all districts on both days.
Litter is a nuisance for many people. It refers to waste that has been deliberately or accidentally left in places where it doesn’t belong, such as on streets or in nature. This can include anything from cigarette butts and chewing gum to packaging waste like candy wrappers, bottles, cans, and chip boxes.
Volunteers
In Brunssum, volunteers are actively involved in organizing regular cleanup efforts—often monthly—to keep their neighborhoods or districts free of litter, in collaboration with the municipality.
On Friday, March 20, and Saturday, March 21, all these efforts will be combined, with many volunteers, young and old, taking to the streets to clean up Brunssum. In addition to creating a cleaner local environment, these cleanup activities foster connections with new neighbors, social interaction, and physical activity.
The municipality supports and facilitates the events by providing litter grabbers, waste bags, and high-visibility vests. It also ensures that the collected waste is properly removed. Each cleanup activity in the districts lasts about two hours. Volunteers can enjoy refreshments before and after the event, along with lively conversations and the chance to meet new people.
