International Coastal Cleanup Partner Spotlight: @hkcleanup 🌊🚮🏖️

Since its founding in 2000 by @lisachristensenmh, Hong Kong Cleanup (@hkcleanup) has empowered over 1 million participants to remove more than 11 million kilograms (24.25 million pounds) of trash from coastlines, country trails and urban areas across the region. And this year, they’re celebrating their 25th anniversary! 🎉

As they celebrate the incredible milestone of a quarter century of work to protect our ocean, they are recommitting to their mission of fostering environmental stewardship, advancing data-driven solutions and inspiring the next generation of ocean defenders. They are building a cleaner, healthier, more beautiful Hong Kong as a united front and are fostering a more hopeful future for our beautiful blue planet. Be sure to follow Hong Kong Cleanup (@hkcleanup) for all the latest updates on their wonderful work and partnership with @OceanConservancy’s #InternationalCoastalCleanup! 🚮 taken in Hong Kong by @hkcleanup

💙⚡️🎶 We were honored and thrilled to have been chosen by @coldplay and @lovebuttonorg as a community action partner for their #MusicOfTheSpheres tour, in HK - an initiative rooted in love and purpose, for people, and the planet! 🌊

Coldplay is setting a powerful example by cutting tour emissions by 50%, using renewable energy, planting a tree for every ticket sold, and supporting groups like @theoceancleanup .

In every city, they collaborate with local organizations to take meaningful action—like Hong Kong Cleanup! 💙💚💛

Together, we collected hundreds of plastic bottles, tangled fishing nets, and foam debris—helping restore our shoreline and protect our ocean.

Huge congrats to our lucky winners, who got tickets for the concert! You earned your spot by showing up and sharing the love.

Big thanks to @oceanconservancy for standing with us every step of the way. The ripple effect is real—let’s keep riding this wave of change.

Hong Kong Cleanup has been the official ICC country leader for Hong Kong for 25 years.
Every year from September–November, we run the International Coastal Cleanup across Hong Kong, free to join.

Good people. Beautiful coastlines. One shared purpose. 🌊💙

We loved welcoming Harvey Rouse, Ambassador to @euinhkandmo , and his wonderful team to the beach!

Seeing the Ambassador, colleagues, family and friends come together with such enthusiasm is what community action is all about.

In a world increasingly lived online, there’s something very special about stepping outside, connecting with nature and doing something good together, IRL!

Beach cleanups are our last line of defence. The real solution starts upstream: refuse, reduce, reuse, redesign and recycle. ♻️

A big thank-you as well to our fantastic event leaders, who make every company event experience so meaningful, @pierrelouisraison and @elmmmmm__ , and to the EU team for such a wonderful partnership!

Cleaner beaches. Stronger connections. A healthier planet.

For the ocean. For each other. For the future. 🌍 by @hkcleanup

Look closely at any cleanup and you’ll see that it’s made up of hundreds of small moments. 🌊

Someone spots a bottle cap half buried in the sand. Someone else holds a bag open. A volunteer points out something easy to miss. Another takes a moment to record what they’ve found.

Nothing particularly dramatic. Just people paying attention, helping each other and getting on with it.

We spend a lot of time talking about the scale of the environmental challenges facing our coastlines. And rightly so. But we also want to celebrate the people who show up and do the small, practical things that need doing. 👏👏

One pair of hands becomes many. That’s how a community starts to take shape.

Want to join our community? Sign up for a free event using the Eventbrite link in our bio and let’s heal our ocean together.

A or B? You choose. 🙌

If you’re planning your next corporate event, skip the usual conference room and take your team somewhere a little more memorable.

Beach or country park. Morning or afternoon. Our Corporate Cleanup Programme can be tailored around your team, your goals and the Hong Kong location you want to explore.

Think team building, employee engagement, CSR, ESG and a genuinely good day out.

Your event. Your team. Your choice.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival from all of us at Hong Kong Cleanup! 中秋節快樂 💙🌕🏮

From lanterns glowing in our neighbourhoods to mooncakes shared with family and friends, this is such a special time to be together.

As we celebrate in parks, along the waterfront and by the beach, let’s show those places a little love too. Bring a lantern you can use again, skip the single-use, and take your mooncake packaging and other rubbish home if you see the bins are full.

Small choices made by many of us can help keep Hong Kong beautiful long after the lanterns have gone out.

Where’s your favourite place to celebrate Mid-Autumn in Hong Kong? ✨

Happy International Coastal Cleanup® (ICC) and World Cleanup Day!💙

All across our city, volunteers came together with one shared purpose this past weekend: to protect the coastlines we love and prove what is possible when a community takes action.

To every volunteer who showed up today, and every day, thank you.
Thank you for giving your time. Thank you for caring.
 Thank you for carrying the bags, collecting the data and helping us make a difference.

And from all of us in Hong Kong, we send our very best to every ICC team taking action around the world!🌏

Since @oceanconservancy started this movement, more than 19 million volunteers have collected more than 400 million pounds of trash.

But this movement has created something even greater than those extraordinary numbers: a global family spanning oceans, cultures and country borders.

A network of people united by the understanding that we are one, and that together, we can achieve something far bigger than any one of us could accomplish alone.

Want to help us #SeaTheChange?

🌊 Sign up for a free community cleanup, made possible by our incredible corporate and nonprofit supporters.

🏢 Bring your colleagues together through a professionally managed company cleanup, an inspiring way to engage your team while delivering measurable local impact.

🤝 Explore sponsorship and partnership opportunities and help us expand free community action across Hong Kong all year long.

🔗Links in bio☝️

Every volunteer matters. Every item removed & counted matters. Every action creates a ripple.

Let’s keep those ripples moving around the world! 🌊💙

Another great day on the coast with the amazing team at @ageasgroup!

We’ve had the pleasure of working with AGEAS for several years, and they continue to show up with incredible team spirit, enthusiasm and a genuine commitment to making a difference. 👏💙

This year, we headed to Stanley for another hands-on Corporate Cleanup, and what a great team they were!

Corporate cleanups are about so much more than picking up trash. They’re an opportunity to:

🌊 Connect outside the office
🤝 Build stronger teams
🧤 Take meaningful action together
💙 Learn more about our ocean and marine debris
🙌 And, of course… DO GOOD. FEEL GOOD.

A huge thank you to AGES for continuing to show up for Hong Kong and our ocean. We love working with teams who bring such positive energy to every cleanup!

Want to bring your team to the coast?
