Register a riverbank cleanup with your neighbou in Frankfurt

RhineCleanUp and MainCleanUp help families, clubs, and neighbourhood groups free riverbanks from litter in Frankfurt. You pick the stretch, invite helpers, and RhineCleanUp gGmbH can supply sacks, gloves, and grabbers through sponsors Postcode Lotterie and naturstrom.

What you can do

• Open MainCleanUp or RhineCleanUp, name your group, and register an open or private cleanup
• Read the CleanUp-Leitfaden for site checks, waste-disposal coordination, and safety (stay on the bank, not in the water)
• Coordinate with your local waste office before the day; report collected kilograms after the action so the network can track community impact
• Download posters and flyers from the PRAKTISCHES section on your river's programme page

How it works

Register with an email, add date, meeting point, and whether others may join. Organisers stay on site for material hand-out, a short safety briefing, and bag drop-off as agreed with authorities. The guide suggests 1 to 1.5 hours for children and 2 to 3 hours for teens and adults.

Why it matters

River litter is visible, local, and fixable in an afternoon. When neighbours measure what they remove, they see how small habits upstream add up, and new groups keep returning each season.
