World Clean Up Day: Cap Estate
Updated: Aug 27
Keeping Cap Estate clean and beautiful is something that benefits everyone who lives, works and visits here.
On 20 September 2025, the Cap Estate Association (CEA) organised a community clean-up across Cap Estate to coincide with World Cleanup Day, bringing together residents, volunteers and local businesses to tackle litter and discarded waste throughout the neighbourhood.
A fantastic community effort
Volunteers worked across the different zones of Cap Estate, collecting rubbish from roadsides, verges and other public areas.
The response from the community was fantastic, with residents joined by staff generously provided by Cabot, Sandals, Cap Maison and BodyHoliday.
The results demonstrated both the scale of the problem and what can be achieved when the community works together.
Following the success of the September event, CEA organised a second Cap Estate clean-up on 17 January 2026.
Across the two community clean-up days:
approximately 100 volunteers took part;
more than 400 industrial-sized rubbish bags were collected; and
residents and volunteers worked across all zones of Cap Estate.
It was an enormous collective effort and CEA would like to thank everyone who gave up their time to participate, as well as the local organisations that provided staff and support.
More than just picking up rubbish
While community clean-up days make an immediate and very visible difference, collecting rubbish after it has been discarded is only part of the solution.
CEA would like to encourage everyone in Cap Estate - residents, visitors, contractors and businesses alike - to help keep our community clean by disposing of waste responsibly and discouraging littering wherever they see it.
The Association plans to continue organising at least two community clean-up events each year, while also supporting wider initiatives aimed at raising awareness and reducing littering in the first place.
CEA also intends to support Pick Up for Paradise, a wider Saint Lucian campaign focused on community action and awareness around litter and the environment.
Help us keep Cap Estate beautiful
Cap Estate is one of Saint Lucia's most distinctive residential communities, and maintaining its natural environment is a shared responsibility.
A huge thank you once again to every resident, volunteer and organisation that helped make our clean-up days such a success.
Together, we can help keep Cap Estate clean, green and beautiful.
