In the last 2 years, more simultaneous clean-up actions have been held from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic situation and the implementation of PPKM in a number of regions in Indonesia. This year, with the easing of pandemic conditions, actions in various regions began to transition back offline. Andy Bahari as the leader of WCD Indonesia reported that 8,302 cleaning points were opened and involved 1,907,738 volunteers spread across 34 provinces in Indonesia who managed to collect 3,770,953.96 kg of garbage.

Simultaneous actions held by the Core team (the core team of the WCDI management) consisting of various ages, ethnicities, and religions were carried out in various places and fields in Indonesia, ranging from schools, campuses, office buildings and government, mountains, rivers, beaches, mangrove forests to the seabed.

In addition to the clean-up action, the Leaders also held other environmental activities, including education to the surrounding community regarding waste sorting, utilizing organic waste for eco-enzyme, and fashion parades from recycled creations.

On this occasion, WCDI was fully supported by the Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs and Investment and the Ministry of Environment and Forestry. In addition, support was also provided by the Coordinating Ministry for Human Development and Culture and the Ministry of Youth and Sports. Activities can run smoothly through the collaboration of 6 core team organizations, namely Let's Do It Indonesia, Indorlawan, Destructive Fishing Watch Indonesia, Cleanaction, Pengalihan, and The Climate Reality Project Indonesia.

The success of WCDI activities this year is also not spared from the support of government officials at the provincial to city/district levels who have collaborated with Leaders in the regions.
