To mark World Clean-Up Day later this month, the Mairie de Monaco is organising a public litter-picking walk through the Condamine neighbourhood. Here’s everything you need to know about the event.  

On Saturday 21st September, the Mairie de Monaco and the Société Monégasque d’Assainissement (SMA) will be getting together to host a public litter pick in the streets and squares of the Condamine neighbourhood.

Starting from Avenue du Port at 10am, the route will head via Rue Saige, Rue Princesse Caroline, Rue Louis Notari, Square Gastaud, Rue Princesse Florestine, Rue Grimaldi, Allée Guillaume Apollinaire, Place des Bougainvilliers and Allée Lazare Sauvaigo to Promenade Honoré II. The event will end in front of A Casa d’i Soci at around 11am. 

The SMA will be providing participants with rubbish bags and gloves, while the Mairie will be sponsoring light refreshments for all those who take part. 

This is a popular and social event, and Prince Albert II of Monaco has been known to show up and muck in with his nine-year-old twins, Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella.   

More than 19 million people in 195 countries across the globe are estimated to have joined in with the World Clean-Up Day efforts of 2023, and the Mairie is hoping for a strong turnout at this year’s local event.
