The nationwide environmental campaign Let’s Do It! Cyprus 2026, organised by the non-governmental organisation Together Cyprus, has successfully concluded its main clean-up week, demonstrating once again the remarkable power of collective action and volunteerism.
Between 26 October and 2 November 2026, a total of 21,622 volunteers across 329 registered teams mobilised throughout Cyprus, taking part in clean-up activities and environmental awareness initiatives.
Students, teachers, parents, municipalities, communities, public institutions, businesses, members of the National Guard, civil society organisations and individual volunteers joined forces to promote a cleaner and more sustainable Cyprus.
An estimated 1.8 million litres of waste
Based on the campaign’s established estimation methodology, the total estimated volume of waste amounted to 1,816,248 litres, comprising:
- 1,210,832 litres of mixed waste.
- 605,416 litres of recyclable PMD waste.
These figures are estimates calculated using volunteer participation records, submitted Clean-up Action Forms and the campaign’s standard methodology, based on 56-litre waste bags.
Young volunteers leading the way
Once again, the educational community played a central role in the campaign, with thousands of students and educators participating in clean-up activities across the island. Schools and kindergartens remain at the heart of Let’s Do It! Cyprus. Beyond collecting waste, the campaign aims to cultivate environmental awareness from an early age and encourage young people to become responsible and environmentally conscious citizens. The active involvement of municipalities, local communities, public institutions, businesses and volunteer groups also highlighted the importance of cooperation in addressing shared environmental challenges.
The campaign continues beyond clean-up week
The official Closing Ceremony took place on 1 November 2026 at Athalassa National Forest Park, bringing together volunteers and representatives of government departments and public institutions. However, the conclusion of the main campaign week does not mark the end of the initiative. Schools, communities and organised groups continue to undertake clean-up activities throughout November, while Let’s Do It! Cyprus remains active throughout the year.
Recognising the people and partners behind the campaign
The success of Let’s Do It! Cyprus 2026 was made possible through the commitment of thousands of volunteers, the cooperation of public authorities and local communities, and the valuable support of corporate sponsors and institutional partners. Together Cyprus extends its sincere appreciation to every volunteer, sponsor, partner and supporting organisation whose contribution helped make this year’s campaign possible.
Looking ahead to 2027, with the ambition of mobilising 50,000 volunteers, Let’s Do It! Cyprus remains committed to environmental education, community engagement and meaningful collective action.
Because change is #InYourHands!
