Horst gets to work: Together for a clean neighborhood

With Horst cleans up, on September 26, 2026, we head to the Horst neighborhood center, where community, commitment, and specific neighborhood care come together. The voluntary action is aimed at everyone who wants to visibly shape Horst and strengthen the sense of unity in the neighborhood. The event is free of charge, and no registration is required.

A morning with real neighborhood spirit

The framework is clear: Every last Saturday of the month, people in Horst gather to clean up, tidy up, and get to work together. The meeting point for Horst-South is the neighborhood center Horst at Harthorststraße 6a. There, garbage bags, gloves, and pickers are provided and returned. The action combines practical cleanliness with a visible sign of cohesion in the neighborhood.

This is how the action takes place on-site

The format is deliberately organized to be accessible: no registration, clear meeting points, a short time commitment from 10 to 12 am, and an open invitation for many participants. This uncomplicated event planning makes the offering particularly attractive for engaged residents. Those who participate experience a direct event experience with real benefits for the neighborhood and a noticeable atmosphere among the engaged community.

Why this neighborhood event matters

The action is organized by GELSENDIENSTE as the legally responsible organizer. According to its own description, the company is responsible for recycling and waste management, street cleaning, winter service, and the maintenance of municipal green spaces, and has a history dating back to 1994. This professional grounding gives the event authority and aligns with the practical targeting of the audience in the neighborhood.
