In 2026 the bundesweite Aktionstag is Saturday 12 September. Sponsors provide free collection kits so you can focus on meeting neighbours and clearing the shore. What you can do - Search open groups on MainCleanUp near your town and register online - Bring sturdy shoes, water, and sun protection; organisers hand out sacks, gloves, and grabbers where available - Log how many kilograms your team collects when the organiser asks (community totals appear on the programme map) - Pair with local groups such as cleanffm on the Frankfurt Mainufer if you are in the Rhine-Main region How it works Public listings show date, meeting point, and registration form. Show up at the published time; the organiser briefs helpers and coordinates waste hand-over with municipal services. The action repeats annually: check the site each summer for the next date. Why it matters A shared day turns solo litter picks into a visible civic habit. Along the Main, clubs, schools, and green groups meet at the water and leave the bank cleaner for walkers, rowers, and wildlife.rivercleanupmain +2
