NIKIN Clean Up Day
September 18, 2021
What is Clean Up Day?
Clean Up Day is a global day of action in which dedicated volunteers clear the environment of garbage. It takes place on the third Saturday in September.
The aim of NIKIN Clean Up Day is to raise awareness and sensitize the Swiss population to the problem of waste and thus achieve sustainable change.
The aim is to motivate people to reduce their daily waste and to work towards a cleaner and more sustainable environment.
To increase the incentive and counteract the CO2 emissions of waste incineration, NIKIN plants one Tree for every kilogram of waste.

The Clean Up campaigns will be held in each city between 10.00 and 14.00.
