New Zealand Clean Up Week 2025 runs from 19–25 September, and it’s a chance for everyone - individuals, families, schools, businesses, community groups, and councils to make a tangible difference in keeping Aotearoa clean. Established in 1967 by the Government, Clean Up Week began as a national initiative to tackle litter. Over the past five decades, the challenges around waste have grown. Today, climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution are the three biggest impacts of waste, making community action more important than ever.
Enviro NZ is proud to partner in Clean Up Week by providing a network of transfer stations across New Zealand where litter is collected during the week, and up until 15 October 2025, can be dropped off free of charge.
