A clean-up along the River Amstel on 28 November as a counter-movement to Black Friday

On 28 November, as a counter-event to Black Friday, the Dutch Cleanup Club is organising a major clean-up along the River Amstel. Through this initiative, residents, volunteers and various government organisations aim to work together to create a cleaner city and a clean River Amstel. The clean-up is being organised in collaboration with the Amstel, Gooi and Vecht Water Board, the City of Amsterdam and the Centrum, Zuid and Oost districts. The focus is on clearing litter from the banks of the River Amstel and preventing rubbish from eventually ending up in the water. The clean-up is part of a new series of XXX Clean-ups and is, for the time being, the last major clean-up that the Dutch Cleanup Club is organising this year. Would you like to be part of this movement? Everyone is welcome to take part. Whether you regularly take part in clean-ups or are heading out with a litter picker for the first time: every contribution counts. Together, we’ll make sure the Amstel and the surrounding area become a little bit cleaner. You can register via: https://dutchcleanupclub.nl/cleanups/cleanup-langs-amstel-28-november-als-tegenbeweging-van-black-friday/. Date and time: Saturday 28 November 2026, 11:00 – 13:00. Location: along the Amstel. Cost: Free. Target group: Everyone.
