Ukliďme Česko

Ukliďme Česko ("Let's Clean Up Czechia") is a Czech volunteer cleanup initiative and the largest volunteer event in the Czech Republic. It is organized by the association Spolek Ukliďme Česko, a small coordinating team that supports hundreds of local organizers who in turn mobilize volunteers to clean up illegally dumped waste and black dumps (černé skládky) across the country and even at a few locations abroad. The initiative's stated goal is not merely to clean more, but to prevent litter from arising in the first place, which is why it invests heavily in media coverage and public awareness. The campaign runs two main nationwide cleanup days each year: a spring cleanup day and an autumn cleanup day tied to World Cleanup Day. Cleanups also take place throughout the year at other dates, and all registered events are listed in an interactive map of cleanups. The website offers separate pathways for people to become a cleanup organizer, join as a volunteer, map black dumps, or support the initiative financially, materially, or through media partnership. Supporting tools include a downloadable cleanup package, a photo and video competition, the "Kam s ním?" ("Where to put it?") app, and a FanShop. Ukliďme Česko is a non-commercial, association-run brand rather than a conventional company. It relies on sponsors and partners to provide cleanup supplies and other support to local organizers. Its media footprint is substantial: the initiative reports thousands of articles mentioning it, and it maintains a dedicated media page tracking coverage. The brand is closely associated with the global World Cleanup Day movement, for which it serves as the Czech coordinating body.

Ukliďme Česko is a Czech volunteer cleanup initiative organized by the association Spolek Ukliďme Česko. It describes itself as the largest volunteer event in the Czech Republic, coordinating nationwide cleanups of illegally created black dumps and litter. The initiative operates through a very small central organizing team; the actual cleanups are carried out by hundreds of local organizers who prepare and lead cleanups for groups of volunteers. The central team provides know-how, guides, and, thanks to sponsors, cleanup supplies and other support. The campaign is structured around two main nationwide cleanup days each year: a spring cleanup day and an autumn cleanup day that coincides with World Cleanup Day. Over the years the dates have shifted. In 2024 the main spring cleanup day was Saturday 6 April 2024, and the main autumn cleanup day (World Cleanup Day 2024) was Friday 20 September 2024. In 2025 the main spring cleanup day was Saturday 29 March 2025, and the main autumn cleanup day (World Cleanup Day 2025) was Saturday 20 September 2025. For 2026 the main spring cleanup day was Saturday 28 March 2026, and the main autumn cleanup day (World Cleanup Day 2026) was scheduled for Sunday 20 September 2026. For 2027 the main spring cleanup day is planned for Saturday 20 March 2027, and the main autumn cleanup day (World Cleanup Day 2027) for Monday 20 September 2027. Cleanups also take place on other dates throughout the year, and these are listed in the interactive map of cleanups. The initiative's media strategy is central to its mission. It states that its goal is not to clean more and more, but to prevent litter from arising at all, and therefore it seeks to make the event, its results, and the association's other activities known to the widest possible public. It maintains a media page tracking articles mentioning Ukliďme Česko; in 2026 it recorded 2,028 articles mentioning the initiative. The website also offers a range of engagement options: becoming a cleanup organizer, joining as a volunteer, participating in mapping black dumps, and supporting the event financially, materially, or as a media partner. Additional activities include a cleanup package, a photo and video competition, a competition with 4camping, "Vajglobraní", "Pytlomaty", and the "Kam s ním?" app. A FanShop is also available. The initiative is linked to the global World Cleanup Day movement, for which it serves as the Czech coordinating body.
