Half of Rotterdam will still be asleep the next morning after their drinking and intoxication on the New Year Eve, but a group of Muslims will be out early to clear the streets of the waste left behind by the celebrators.
They are members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Rotterdam.
The Ahmadiyya Muslim youth along with their many elders hold the cleanup activity every year because they believe it is their task to contribute to the society.
Their slogan is "Love for All, Hatred for none"
Muslim youth explain there are certain not-so-nice aspect to the celebration and the public is left to deal with injuries from accidents.
In mountains of leftover waste are found unused fireworks and many young children search the debris the next day to find unused fireworks.
The children try to light the fireworks again and serious accidents happen every year.
Ahmadiyya youth say if the waste is not properly disposed of, there is lot of litter around and moreover it is bad for our environment.
Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) said, "[c]leanliness is half of faith," the Muslim group explains.
The Ahmadiyya Muslim members will be up at the break of the day to come together for the first prayer of the New Year, but the youngsters will stay around so they can continue from there to start garbage collection.
