Municipalities in Brazil have undertaken various environmental preservation and waste management initiatives. In Marituba, the local government conducted a cleaning drive in the Riacho Doce and Canaã community protection areas, incorporating educational workshops on biodiversity and circular economy alongside seedling planting.

Expanding on these efforts, cities such as Paranaguá and Maringá organized mobilizations for World Cleanup Day. In Paranaguá, partnerships were formed to clean mangroves and estuarine environments. In Maringá, efforts focused on cleaning streets, parks, and rivers, including a program allowing individuals to convert certain environmental fines into voluntary preservation work.
