How can we help you?

The Big Clean Up

An estimated 50 million kilos of litter ends up on the street or in green spaces every year in the Netherlands. Litter is incredibly bad for nature, animals and people too! It pollutes the soil, animals can get trapped and suffocate in the waste or they eat it. And in this way microparticles can end up in our food. These are just a few examples of the damage caused by litter.

During our walks and running events, we enjoy our wonderful surroundings and the beautiful nature that Venlo has to offer. Time to do something in return! So Stichting Venloop, with the support of partner ACS Cleaning, is organising an big clean-up campaign every year. We will collect litter in and around Venlo during a walk. Next year The Big Clean Up will take place on Saturday 4 October 2025.

Together with our walkers and runners, we will collect litter and make Venlo a little cleaner again.

How exactly the day’s programme will look will be announced in due course. In any case, we will provide the materials needed to clean up, such as picks, gloves and rubbish bags. So all you have to do is sign up.

Signing up will be possible again soon.

The Big Clean Up 2025 will take place on Saturday 4 October

Programme

Participants can meet at 9:00 am at Stichting Venloop office, Koninginnesingel 14 in Venlo. From here we will start our clear up campaign together!

Participants will be split into a number of groups and set off on the route from 9:30 am.

At 11:30 am we will meet at the office again, take a group photo with all the collected bags full of litter and end the campaign together with a cup of coffee or tea with some sweet treats, before returning home with a great feeling. It feels good to make Venlo, and the world, a little cleaner!
