On February 25, 2022 His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco arrived at Port Hercule esplanade in Monaco to attend the inauguration of 2022 Monacollecte.

Organized by the Gouvernement Princier de Monaco, Monacollecte is an event that urges the citizens and residents of the tiny principality to donate items that they no longer use, want or need such as clothes, toys, nicknacks, etc.

According to the Monaco Tribune several charities including the Croix-Rouge Monégasque were on hand at the recycling event to “…collect and redistribute…” hundreds of items donated.
