Decathlon Italy will team up with improvement and gardening retailer Leroy Merlin on the occasion of this year’s World Cleanup Day on Sep. 17. Employees from 130 of their stores will join forces with customers and other citizens on a series of initiatives organized by the two retailers across Italy to raise awareness of the waste problem. Decathlon Italy is participating in the initiative for the fifth consecutive year, this time in partnership with Leroy Merlin. Collective sports events will take place alongside waste collection activities, in collaboration with local and sports associations and with the support of various municipalities. The first edition of World Cleanup Day was celebrated in 2018. Each country has a leader or group of leaders who work around the clock, often as volunteers, to mobilize the people in their countries on that particular day. The 2022 edition will unite 191 countries across the globe.
