Together for clean rivers

RhineCleanUp ensures that the garbage does not get out of hand on the rivers. We are committed to protecting the environment and keeping rivers and oceans clean. Be there and support us. Please motivate your friends, colleagues and neighbors too. We support you!

Along the Saar

The Saar is a special river. Although it is only 235 kilometers long, it has two sources and two names: It flows through two European countries and partly forms the border between them. And it flows through two German states.

 

The Saar rises at the Donon, a mountain in the Vosges (France). The two headwaters are called Sarre Rouge and Sarre Blanc in French, and Rote Saar and Weiße Saar in German. For 121 kilometers it is the French river La Sarre, then for eleven kilometers it marks the border between France and Germany.

 

For 68 kilometers, the Saar flows through the federal state of Saarland. Here the river forms two loops: the Great Saar Loop near Mettlach and the Small Saar Loop in the municipality of Taben-Roth. Finally, the river flows 31 kilometers through the federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate before it flows into the Moselle near Konz.

Prime Partner

Deutsche Postcode Lotterie

Working together for a greener future: Deutsche Postcode Lottery is actively committed to our environment as a main partner.
 

The mission of the social lottery is to create a better world for us humans and to preserve our planet. The RhineCleanUp not only strengthens social togetherness, but also triggers a rethinking of environmental pollution and its associated consequences. After our employees have already actively supported the big "Rhine CleanUp" in 2018, 2019 and 2020, with the help of our participants we are again financially supporting the project from source to mouth this year. In addition to measures to promote the campaign, work equipment such as trash bags, high-visibility vests, gloves and grabs will be provided for the many thousands of helpers to clean up Germany's second-largest river and its tributaries. And the best thing about it is that anyone can join in and make their contribution to a clean environment.

By connecting people, businesses and governments, the non-profit creates involvement and commitment to work together for a clean environment.

IGSU

Newly formed in May 2007, the IGSU is an Interest Group for a Clean Environment in Switzerland. The initiative was taken by two private sector recycling organisations, the IGORA Cooperative for Aluminium Recycling and PRS PET-RECYCLING Switzerland. The two organisations have been working together against littering since 2004. Nonetheless, they sought to support activities against littering on a larger scale and have therefore founded the IGSU.
