World Cleanup Day Curaçao 2026
People of Curaçao, Green Wavers!
On September 18 and 19, 2026, Curaçao Cleanup will once again organize Curaçao’s annual national cleanup as part of the global World Cleanup Day movement.
Earlier this year, Curaçao experienced something truly special.
Blue Wave
The Blue Wave
The Blue Wave showed us and the world what can happen when we come together with patriotism, pride, and positive energy. Across our island, we felt the power of connection and showed just how much love we have for the place we all call home.
Inspired by that same energy, the Green Wave was born.
World Cleanup Day Curaçao
World Cleanup Day Curaçao is a unique opportunity to put those values into action. Let’s come together with that same love, joy, and positive energy to clean our beautiful island. Inspired by that same energy, the Green Wave was born.
The Green Wave
The Green Wave is a movement that invites everyone to turn their love for Curaçao into positive action by making a Green Commitment. It is about caring for our environment, taking responsibility, and inspiring others to do the same.

World Cleanup Day Curaçao isn’t just about picking up litter.
It’s about unity, pride, and action — but also about raising awareness of a problem that’s been affecting our island for far too long. From tossed bottles and plastics on our streets, and in our waters, to entire piles of trash illegally dumped on our backroads — littering is hurting our dushi island.
It's not just on Cleanup Day, but every single day.
This movement is a wake-up call. A reminder that we all have a part to play — not just on Cleanup Day, but every single day. Together, we can change the mindset, lead by example, and create a cleaner, prouder Curaçao.
