Bamberg declares war on garbage: Be there on World Cleanup Day!
On September 19, 2025, a large garbage collection campaign will take place in Bamberg as part of the World Cleanup Day take place. The event aims to actively combat environmental pollution and mobilize all citizens to take part in this important initiative. The importance of this event is underlined by the impressive figures from 2024, when 22 million people from 191 countries worldwide took part in the event, such as World Cleanup confirmed.
The problem is serious: garbage such as cigarette butts and plastic bags end up in nature every day. Plastics can take up to 120 years to decompose and even up to a million years for glass bottles. This makes it all the more important to take action together and set an example for a clean environment.
Participation and organization
The city of Bamberg calls on all interested citizens to register via the city website. This registration is crucial for planning as it helps determine the number of trash bags needed. Participants should bring their own gloves, tongs and buckets. The meeting will be at 10 a.m. at various collection points throughout the city, where the city of Bamberg will also provide the garbage bags. The filled garbage bags should be returned by 12 p.m. at the latest so that Bamberg Service can pick them up and take them to the waste-to-energy plant.
TheWorld Cleanup Dayis not just a local action, but part of a global citizens' movement. Every year, this day mobilizes millions of people to take active action against littering our environment. As part of this movement, the World Cleanup Community was recently honored with the UN SDG Action Awards in Rome, showing how valuable and recognized the commitment to a clean environment is.
