Join a CleanUp
Individuals who want to get involved can find an existing group in their neighborhood on this website. If there isn't one, you can start your own group.
Together for clean rivers
RhineCleanUp ensures that the garbage does not get out of hand on the rivers. We are committed to protecting the environment and keeping rivers and oceans clean. Be there and support us. Please motivate your friends, colleagues and neighbors too. We support you!
The Elbe offers important habitats!
The Elbe - with a length of 1000 kilometers - has its source in the Czech Republic and is one of the longest rivers in Europe. Before it flows into the North Sea, it crosses cities such as Dresden, Magdeburg and Hamburg. The Elbe is not only important for transport - on its banks and in the water it offers a nutrient-rich habitat for a wide variety of plant and animal species. One example of this is the Elbe River Landscape Biosphere Reserve, which covers an area of around 4,000 square kilometers along the course of the Elbe. Animals such as badgers, deer and beavers live around the Elbe.
We want to clean the Elbe from the source to the mouth. Together with our partners and you, we want to clear the banks of the Elbe of waste. In addition, our long-term goal is to create awareness that waste is not thrown away carelessly or, better still, avoided from the outset! 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 welcome.
Create a CleanUp and invite your fellow campaigners.
Prime Partner
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.
