World Cleanup Day Germany is the national initiative coordinating participation in the global World Cleanup Day movement. It brings individuals, schools, childcare centres, clubs, businesses and municipalities together to tackle litter and support a cleaner, healthier and more sustainable environment. Participants can find a cleanup nearby or register and organize their own action, collecting rubbish in places such as parks, streets, riversides and beaches. Afterward, organizers can report their results and receive a free participation certificate.

The initiative also provides guidance, educational materials and free cleanup resources, including kits with gloves, safety vests and litter pickers, sports jerseys for clubs and plogging groups, and reusable-material waste bags. Its circular education initiative, We Create Future, engages schools, sports clubs and students in learning and practical environmental action. World Cleanup Day Germany supports collaboration through partnerships, municipal cooperation, campaigns and news about local activities. In 2025, its reported national results included 11,482 cleanups, 672,600 participants and 2,326 tonnes of collected rubbish across 2,846 municipalities.
