Vienna cleans up together: Join in the spring cleaning!

The eagerly awaited “Vienna cleans up” campaign, organized by the 48er team, will start on April 28, 2025. Under the motto “We will make our city shine together,” all citizens are invited to take an active part in cleaning up their city. The campaign will take place until May 11th and aims to clear garbage from sidewalks, playgrounds and green spaces in Vienna.

The official activities begin in Rathauspark, where participants can check out. The participants receive practical equipment such as high-visibility vests, gloves and garbage bags to make the work efficient. Waste disposal is organized by the organizers, so that the filled bags can be taken either to residual waste bins or recycling collection points. City Councilor for Climate Jürgen Czernohorszky emphasizes the importance of this initiative for maintaining cleanliness in Vienna and thanks all of the committed participants in advance.

Invitation to community action

The 48er campaign “Vienna cleans up” is a call to all Viennese to organize themselves into groups such as neighbors, friends or colleagues. The joint efforts should not only beautify the cityscape, but also strengthen the sense of community. Climate City Councilor Czernohorszky emphasizes that a clean city contributes to the quality of life and encourages all citizens to participate.

The campaign will be published on April 26, 2025. The aim is to achieve broad participation in order to improve the city together. Resident engagement plays an essential role in the implementation and success of this initiative. Whether small or large, every move counts.

Vienna and the importance of green spaces

The importance of greening in urban areas, which is also supported by technical analyses, shows that green spaces significantly improve the urban climate. These findings are important not only in Vienna, but also in other cities. Studies show that high biodiversity in cities regulates temperature and improves air quality, among other things, which is particularly necessary in times of climate change.

Green spaces play a crucial role in the health of city residents: they bind CO2, promote the infiltration of rainwater and help reduce noise. In addition, they are a place for social interaction and promote a sense of community. Therefore, the participatory campaign “Vienna Cleans Up” is not only a challenge, but also an opportunity to promote urban nature and biodiversity.

The city administration has also recognized this and is striving to have a positive influence on the quality of life of the Viennese through such collective actions. A biodiversity strategy could include further measures aimed at preserving and promoting urban nature.

Vienna is and remains one of the cleanest major cities, and such actions are the key to ensuring this quality in the future. oe24.at reports that participants are also held accountable by not only helping with cleaning, but also actively contributing to improving living conditions in the city.

With a united move, the Viennese can not only make their city shine, but also contribute to creating a livable environment in the long term.
