Borger-Odoorn Clean in One Day
Cleaner than ever before
On Friday, April 10, 2026, the very first edition of Borger-Odoorn Clean in One Day will take place. With more than 1,000 expected participants, this will be the largest clean-up action ever in the region. Businesses, volunteers, and local residents will join forces to comb through the villages with grabbers, trash bags, and plenty of enthusiasm. The shared goal? A municipality that is cleaner than ever before.
Together we make the difference
Each group of participants will be assigned a section of Borger-Odoorn to clean up. This could be a street, square, or patch of green, often close to the participants’ own location. You can choose the time on April 10, 2026, to spend 60–90 minutes on the task.
Well-organized and free
Participating costs nothing. All necessary materials, such as grabbers, safety vests, gloves, and trash bags, will be delivered to you in advance and collected afterward. You will receive a clear instructional video so you know exactly what to do.
Festive kick-off with familiar faces
The day begins at 9:00 AM with a festive kick-off at Esdal College in Borger. The event will feature the mayor, alderman, child mayor, and influencer Wildebras. This opening can be followed via livestream at: www.in1dagschoon.nl/borgerodoorn. Influencer Wildebras will visit five schools in Borger-Odoorn that day.

You can register your efforts using the Rubbiz app. For every photo of collected waste you upload, a donation will be made to a charity of your choice, such as the Plastic Soup Foundation. This way, everyone contributes twice: to a cleaner municipality of Borger-Odoorn and to social initiatives.
