Keep Singapore Clean
Every year, the Public Hygiene Council (PHC) holds its flagship initiative, the Keep Singapore Clean (KSC) campaign, to raise awareness of the problem of littering and to nudge Singapore residents to uphold higher standards of public hygiene and cleanliness in their everyday lives.
Over the past few years, PHC has strengthened efforts to engage Singapore residents of all ages to encourage them to do their part for the environment. Their participation could be via various approaches, such as throwing rubbish into bins responsibly, returning crockery to tray return stations after meals and keeping tables clean for the next diners, and keeping public toilets clean and dry.
PHC has engaged agency partners to systematically develop and implement strategic communications campaigns on various platforms, including delivering public messages through mainstream media. Please refer to our YouTube channel and follow us on Social Media at @KeepSGClean on TikTok, Facebook and Instagram for regular updates.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Who will be involved?
Everyone! The Public Hygiene Council (PHC) has extended invitations to all our KSC partners (e.g. schools, businesses, communities, organisations) to identify suitable locations and lead clean-up activities during the month-long KSC activation. Members of the public are welcome to organise or participate in any activities to show their support for the KSC movement.
2. Where will the activities be held?
Organisers may identify and target any shared community spaces, such as residential estates, schools, parks, hawker centres, at which to conduct the clean-up activities.
3. When will the activities be held?
Organisers are welcome to conduct their clean-up activities on any day between Sunday 13 April 2025 and Sunday 11 May 2025.
4. What if we are unable to commit to any day within the KSC month-long activation period?
Keeping Singapore clean is a lifetime commitment and not just a one-day effort. We welcome groups and individuals to initiate their own programmes to encourage and educate good practices at shared community spaces. Through such sustained efforts, communities will take greater ownership to improve the cleanliness and hygiene standards of these public spaces.
