Clean-up initiatives are organized efforts aimed at removing litter and debris from public spaces, such as parks, beaches, and streets. These activities often involve volunteers, community groups, and local organizations working together to improve the environment and promote public awareness about the importance of keeping areas clean. Many clean-up initiatives also focus on recycling and proper waste disposal, encouraging participants to sort materials like plastic, glass, and paper. Events may be held regularly or in response to specific environmental concerns, such as pollution in waterways or the impact of natural disasters on local ecosystems.
