CleanupMontenegro: 725 volunteers, 13 municipalities, 5 tonnes removed

From 18 to 40 organisations in a single year CleanupMontenegro is a national cleanup network coordinated by Zero Waste Montenegro, spanning 40 organisations and informal groups across 13 municipalities. In September 2024, the network mobilised 725 volunteers across 22 cleanup events: from coastline to mountain: removing nearly 5 tonnes of waste. The network doubled in size from 2023 to 2024, reflecting growing community appetite for organised environmental action. What CleanupMontenegro offers participants - Organised cleanup events from coastal beaches to mountain trails: something for every terrain and interest - Equipment provision (gloves, bags, sorting guidance) so no prior experience is needed - A growing community of environmental volunteers across 13 municipalities - Follow-up data reporting that makes the cleanup's impact visible and shareable How to engage - Montenegro residents: follow Zero Waste Montenegro for the next CleanupMontenegro week announcement (usually September) - Organisations: join the CleanupMontenegro network by contacting Zero Waste Montenegro - Municipalities: host a cleanup event in your territory: the network provides logistics support Why it matters Cleanup networks that grow from 18 to 40 organisations in one year are building lasting civic infrastructure. Montenegro's CleanupMontenegro demonstrates that a zero waste movement can scale through peer-to-peer network growth rather than top-down institutional mandate.
