WILLEMSTAD - Next month marks the return of Curaçao Clean Up. For the first time, the cleanup initiative will take place over two days instead of just one. The event is scheduled for Friday, September 20, and Saturday, September 21. Registration for the national cleanup effort is now open. The aim of "World Clean Up Day" is to make Curaçao cleaner and send a collective message against pollution, from people littering the streets to drivers dumping large waste in nature.
Since 2013, between 2,500 and 3,500 volunteers have participated in this initiative every year on the third Saturday of September. This year, for the first time, people can join the effort over two days, between 7:00 AM and 11:00 AM. The theme of this year's campaign is "Clean Up Superheroes." Registration is open until September 13 at www.curacaocleanup.com.
