More people, less waste. This is the most encouraging outcome of three editions of Corbu Cleanup Day.
On October 3, more than 250 volunteers joined the 2026 edition, clearing approximately 3 kilometres of beach and surrounding vegetation. People from Corbu and other cities travelled here especially for the event, determined to help protect a place that means so much to us.
For Rezident, helping organise Corbu Cleanup Day is also about taking responsibility for a place where we operate. It is a commitment we uphold year after year, alongside the Association of Young People for European Integration Constanța, our volunteers and our partners.
The results of all three editions show why this work is worth continuing:
• 2024 — 150 volunteers, 2 kilometres of beach cleaned, 5.2 tonnes of waste collected and four illegal dumping sites closed.
• 2025 — 150 volunteers, nearly 3 kilometres of beach cleaned, 3.4 tonnes of waste and more than 10 kilograms of cigarette filters collected.
• 2026 — more than 250 volunteers, approximately 3 kilometres of beach and surrounding vegetation cleaned, and nearly 1.7 tonnes of waste collected — roughly half the amount recorded last year. Separately, together with the ENVIRON Association, we collected 500 kilograms of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).
We also dedicated part of the day to education, with workshops on marine litter, invasive species and Corbu’s natural environment, alongside creative activities for children. Because caring for a place also starts with understanding it.
Thank you to every volunteer and to the team behind this edition. Our thanks also go to the partners who supported every aspect of the event, from cleanup equipment and waste collection to meals for volunteers and educational activities.
See you at the next Corbu Cleanup Day!
