Ghana to mark World Cleanup Day with National Sanitation Day on October 3

“National Sanitation Day must go beyond a periodic cleanup exercise,” the Ministry said, describing the initiative as an opportunity to promote environmental responsibility in homes, markets, workplaces, schools and communities.

The Ministry said the National Sanitation Day should not be limited to periodic cleanup exercises, but should contribute to building a sustained culture of environmental responsibility.

Ghana will on Saturday, October 3, 2026, observe National Sanitation Day across the country, with the exercise also serving as the national commemoration of World Cleanup Day 2026.
