Clean up the Czech Republic is a volunteer event whose goal is to clean up black dumps and clutter throughout the Czech Republic and raise awareness of the problem of improper waste management. “Several groups of volunteers in Jablonec nad Nisou will also be involved in the cleaning work. The public can, through their own initiative and experience, become familiar with the seriousness of the occurrence of black dumps and waste both in nature and in the city,” explained Jablonec’s deputy for the environment and city strategy, Lenka Opočenská.
The municipality of Jablonec will join the cleaning event on Friday, April 5. Both Lenka Opočenská and deputy Jana Hamplová will participate in the cleaning for the city management, together with the employees of the department of urban ecology. They will clean public spaces in the city center and the surrounding area. Anyone can join.

“You always have to clean up the garden after winter and prepare for the arrival of spring. And the whole city of Jablonec is like one big garden for us,” added Jana Hamplová, Jablonec’s deputy for humanitarian affairs.
The heart of the event are volunteer organizers of local clean-ups. “These are the people who take responsibility and organize the cleaning in a place they choose, and then take care of the smooth progress of the cleaning all the time,” explained Ludmila Rosenbaumová from the circular economy department of the Jablonec municipality.
