together
for clean
Zandlopers get together every 2nd Saturday and every 3rd Sunday of the month. Together they then collect litter for one hour in the streets of our beautiful neighbourhood.
Everyone can join in. Also (young) children can join in, so feel free to join us with the whole family. Even if you do not live in ‘t Zand, you are more than welcome to join us. Will you join us?
All participants receive a grabber, vest, garbage bags, gloves and a garbage bag carrying ring for the litter picking. You may also bring your own stuff if you have it. In consultation, you may also take these materials home with you if you wish to go litter picking more often. You can ask a supervising volunteer or send an email to buren@zandbewoners.nl about this.
Where and when do the Zandlopers walk?
Every 2nd Saturday* of the month we leave at 10 am from Emmaplein near the Sacred Heart statue. We then pick up litter for an hour in the streets of ‘t Zand North.
Every 3rd Sunday* of the month we leave at 11h00 from the Maijweg at the Melkfabriek (photo). We then litter pick for one hour in the streets of ‘t Zand Zuid.
Registration is not necessary, you can just drop by and tag along. If it rains (heavily) the activity will not take place. You can sign up for the mailing list on the bottom of this page, so that you always know whether the activity is going ahead.
*Sometimes we deviate from the 2nd and 3rd weekend of the month due to holidays or for other reasons. That is why all Zandlopers activities for 2025 are listed below. In August we have a summer break.
