Forget Alpine villages and Scandinavian streets – if you want to see cleanliness at its most raw, disciplined and almost robotically efficient, then you have to go to Singapore. It’s a place where you won’t find any rubbish even if you look for it with a magnifying glass and an augmented reality app. In 2025, this city-state – known for its futuristic architecture, gleaming facades and rare traffic jams – is once again officially declared the cleanest city in the world. And this is not according to some local committee for beautiful gardens, but according to a comprehensive international analysis carried out by the American company Eagle Dumpster Rental, in collaboration with the Numbeo, Atlas D-Waste and other data centres.
