Every year, on the third Saturday in September, the International Coastal Cleanup Day is celebrated. This is the single largest coastal Cleanup day in the world, and 2021 will mark the 35th year of the ICCD in action. In 2019, more than 940,000 volunteers from all around the world removed over 16 million pounds of trash along 24,500 miles of beaches and waterways. Over the last almost 35 years, more than 50 million volunteers removed more than 280 000 tons of trash in 180 countries around the world.
