Are you planning to clean or participate in a clean-up operation?
Before setting off
- Plan your transport to the meeting point
- Download the Rydde app and activate your user
- Wear appropriate clothing
- Wear footwear suitable for the terrain
- If you are organising the clean-up operation, please read the checklist for organisers
Bring
- Gloves, if you have not been told that gloves will be issued
- Bin bags if these will not be issued
- Plenty of food and beverages
- Sunglasses and sunscreen
- Extra clothing in case of rain or cold weather
- First-aid equipment, if necessary
Always keep safety in mind when performing clean-up activities
- Be attentive and careful
- Take care of your own safety
- Wear gloves
- Wear a life jacket if needed
- Use safety goggles or other protective equipment as needed
- Pay attention to your working position and vary how you sit and stand
- If possible, work in pairs
Handling of waste
- Do not overfill the bags, as you need to be able to tie and transport them
- Do not put food waste in the bags, as this poses a risk that animals could drag the waste out
- If you find large, heavy items, report this in the Rydde app and leave the items behind
- Register waste in Rydde
Hazardous waste
- Pay attention to hazardous waste:
- Sharp items
- Bottles or plastic jugs with unknown contents
- Explosives
- Car batteries
- Gas bottles
If you come across something and you do not know what it is, leave it behind and notify the police or the operation leader.
After cleaning
- Remember to let the organiser know before you leave
Leave the landscape in a better condition than it was in before cleaning and with few traces of the operation.
