Get a group of friends or neighbours together and take part in spring-cleaning! You can organise a volunteer event to clean up waste from the city’s public areas, i.e. forests, roadsides, parks and beaches. Cleaning private plots and yard areas is not part of the voluntary spring cleaning events.
The idea is to collect non-natural waste, not organic material such as leaves and twigs. Volunteers are provided with litter pickers and refuse sacks.
If you want to organise a cleaning event, please notify us no later than 8 days before the scheduled date at puistotalkoot.hel.fi/en(Link leads to external service).
Volunteer cleaning events can be organised during snow-free times, not just in the spring. The City of Helsinki has been supporting litter picking campaigns for almost 40 years, since 1984.
