Volunteers across Czechia join nationwide clean-up

Thousands of volunteers across the Czech Republic cleaned up nature, towns and villages on Saturday as part of the nationwide event Ukliďme Česko. More than 2,000 clean-up events were registered, involving individuals, families, schools, companies and local groups.

A new feature this year was a nationwide collection of old mobile phones, with organisers aiming to set a Czech record for their recycling. For each phone handed in, the project received ten crowns to help provide bags, gloves and other equipment for volunteers.
