Styrian spring cleaning 2025: Together for a clean environment!

Wien, Österreich - Spring not only brings blooming nature, but also an increase in garbage that is left behind in the environment. In Styria, over 780,000 volunteers are already taking part in the big spring cleaning in order to eliminate tons of waste. The responsible state councilor Simone Schmiedtbauer (ÖVP) emphasized the importance of this commitment: "It is like a big family reunion of the environmentally conscious." With a first focus on the formation of consciousness, the organizers hope that the younger generation of kindergartens and schools in particular learn the importance of a clean environment. From March 22 to May 10, the campaign, which has been the largest environmental campaign in the country for 17 years, is running, as steiermark.ORF.at reported.

action in Vienna: "Vienna clears up"

parallel to the Styrian initiative, the city of Vienna organizes the "Vienna clears up" campaign, which takes place from April 28th to May 11th. Citizens are invited to collect garbage together in public spaces such as parks, sidewalks and playgrounds. In order to increase motivation, participants can collect bottles and cans with a pawn logo and thus also draw financial benefits from it. The campaign should not only beautify the city, but also set a sign against Littering, which is strictly ecologically sanctioned in Vienna. According to waste consultancy.wien.gv.at there are around 21,000 public paper baskets available in Vienna.

Both actions aim to strengthen consumer consumer for environmental protection and create a cleaner environment. The commitment of the volunteers in Styria and Vienna shows how important it is to take responsibility for your own environment and actively contribute to the protection of nature. The coming season will lead to an effective cleaning campaign throughout the country through these initiatives.
