Students, staff and our campus neighburs are warmly invited to roll up their sleeves together, just as we did in 2025. Armed with a litter picker, a bin bag and plenty of energy, we’ll make a visible difference on and around our campuses — and you’ll meet new people, too.

We’ll be meeting at two locations: University Quarter and Roeterseiland Campus. On the sign-up form, you can indicate which location you’d like to join. The city’s ambition is to work with 10,000 participants towards a litter-free Amsterdam. The UvA is keen to contribute
