When: 23rd of May
Time: 13:00-15:00 (drop by when it suits you and stay as long as you like)

On the last day of the “Week without Waste”, Green Café and Troep Troopers Eindhoven join forces for a fun clean up action in Tongelre!
✅ Everyone is welcome – young, old, on your own or with the whole family
✅ Litter grabbers and garbage bags are available
Why participate?
Litter is not only an eyesore – it pollutes our living environment, threatens animals and rarely disappears by itself. That is why cleaning up litter is useful! But cleaning up together yields many more advantages than just a clean neighborhood.
✨ You are getting some exercise
✨ You get some fresh air
✨ You regularly receive a compliment for your efforts ☺️
✨ And it is just great fun!
📩 Registration is not mandatory, but it is nice: send a message to info@troeptroopers.nl or just drop by!
Time: 25th of May, 13:00-14:30
Where: Urkhovenseweg 16, 5641 KE Eindhoven, Nederland (Parking lot of Lidl)
*There is plenty of space to park your bike and a bus number 5 gets you closest to the meeting point
