Sunday garbage service

Garbage Gathering  Spend your Sunday helping out Mother Earth when nature preservation association Danmarks Naturfredningsforening organises a day of some serious spring cleaning. Children have already begun helping as schools and daycares have spent the week collecting garbage, but on Sunday everybody can help out. Here’re a few of the places with organised garbage gathering – on the website you’ll find many more.
