World Cleanup Day

What?Collecting rubbish

When?19 September 2026, from 10 am

Where?The locations will be announced here in due course

Unfortunately, far too much rubbish is still being carelessly discarded in the countryside. As it doesn’t belong there, we’re working together to clear up the litter and make Eberswalde a better place to live. Join us and get involved.

We’ll be collecting rubbish together at several locations. The exact locations will be announced here shortly. We’re calling on all residents, schools, nurseries and clubs to join us in taking action.

Give our natural environment a little of your time and clear forests, parks, footpaths and roadsides of litter so that we can once again enjoy our beautiful natural surroundings!

The rubbish will then be collected by the Eberswalde municipal works department and disposed of properly.

Please bring gloves and sturdy footwear as part of your personal protective equipment. We’ll collect rubbish in bin bags at designated collection points. We report bulky waste using the BDG waste app. The bin bags will then be collected from the Eberswalde municipal depot from 1 pm onwards. Kreiswerke Barnim, acting on behalf of the Barnim district, will collect the waste free of charge.

Collecting rubbish isn’t actually a dangerous task. For your own safety, we ask all participants to bear the following in mind:

• Wear sturdy footwear
• If you have them, bring work gloves and wear them during the event
• Dress appropriately for the weather and remember to use sun protection if necessary
• Parents are asked to supervise their own children. The organisers are unable to do so.
• Participation is voluntary and at your own risk.
• Avoid anything that does not seem safe to you and contact the organisers if necessary.
