A corporate cleanup day in Luxembourg is a two-hour guided team activity that ends with a measurable kilogram figure and a one-page impact report. If you are weighing it up alongside the usual teambuilding options (escape rooms, ropes courses, cooking classes), you probably want to know what the actual two hours look like before you book. This post walks through the full sequence.
Corporate Cleanup Day – At a Glance
A CSFN corporate cleanup day is a fully offline activity. The app is not used, and your employees do not download anything. The booking is a web form or an email exchange with CSFN, after which a project lead handles location scouting, materials and logistics.
Pricing is 50 EUR per participant, excluding VAT, with 1000 minimum for groups under 20. For every kilogram of trash collected, one tree is planted as part of the package, with a certificate issued after the event.
Hour zero: the site is set up before you arrive
A CSFN team arrives ahead of your group to set up a small “mini festival” feel on site: a banner, a beach flag, a foldable table holding the materials and the trash sorting bins. The aim is to make the meeting point obvious, and the kickoff feel like an event rather than a school trip.
The location is chosen with you in advance: typically a public park, a riverbank, a forest path, or an industrial-area perimeter near your office. Luxembourg has plenty of qualifying sites in the city, in Kirchberg, around Belair, along the Alzette and around major employment zones.
Minutes 0 – 15: introduction and briefing
The first 15 minutes are an introduction. A CSFN team leader covers four things:
- A short framing on littering in Luxembourg and Europe, with one or two facts per topic.
- The CSFN mission and how this specific cleanup fits in.
- Materials distribution: vests, gloves, bags, hoops, pickers.
- Safety briefing and sorting rules.
This is also where any photos are taken. Your team takes one group photo at the start with materials in hand, which is useful for the internal channel later and for any post-event communication.
Minutes 15 – 105: Cleanup
An hour and a half of guided cleanup. The team leader sets a route or zones the area depending on group size. People typically work in pairs: one with a picker and a bag, one spotting. Some prefer to work alone. There is no rigid format.
The dynamic is calmer than a teambuilding game and more grounded than a charity run. People talk in pairs as they move. They notice things they would never notice walking the same path on a commute. The conversation tends to drift away from work topics within fifteen minutes.
If you have a mixed group with senior and junior staff, this part of the event is where the usual hierarchy quietly flattens. The CEO and the new joiner pick up the same bottles.
Minutes 105 – 120: weigh-in, photo, drinks
The last 15 minutes wrap up the event:
- The bags are weighed together at the meeting point. A real scale, real numbers.
- Trash is sorted into the right streams. CSFN handles disposal afterwards: packaging is recycled via Ville de Luxembourg and cigarette butts are sent to partner Shime to be upcycled into urban furniture.
- A team photo with the haul.
- Local drinks: water, apple juice, beer. Time to decompress before heading back to the office.
The total weight is usually higher than people guess. A team of 25 in a moderately littered urban zone typically collects 30 to 80 kg in 90 minutes.
What you get afterwards
CSFN delivers an A4 PDF impact report after the event. It includes the date, location, participant count, kilograms collected, photo selection and a certificate confirming the trees planted from the cleanup. The format is simple on purpose. It is pasted into internal newsletters, HR channels, and ESG reports without further work.
Some clients add a Pick N’ Plant sponsorship on top, separately. That is the passive impact option, where 3 EUR funds one kilogram of cleanup plus one tree, delivered as a URL impact report rather than a live event. The two products do not overlap: the Cleanup Event is the physical day, and Pick N’ Plant is the sponsorship.
The honest version of who it works for
Corporate cleanup days work well for groups of 10 to 50 with a real intention to do something useful for an afternoon. They work less well for groups that want adrenaline (rock climbing), for groups that want intricate problem-solving (escape rooms) and for groups that need an indoor option (Luxembourg weather is what it is).
They tend to land well with sustainability-focused teams, ESG-aware leadership teams, professional services firms running annual CSR days and tech companies looking for an outdoor afternoon that produces something photographable for LinkedIn without feeling cynical.
What past clients have done
Past corporate cleanups have run for Fujitsu, A&O Shearman, Dachser, Temenos, Castegnaro, Lalux, Quintet Private Bank, ERGO, IKO Real Estate, NTT, Accenture, and Silicon Luxembourg, among others. Industries vary, group sizes vary, and the format adapts. The constant is two hours.
