Mass Cleaning Campaign

With the increase of economic development, rapid population growth and improvement of living standards in our Thromde, it has contributed to factors like increased quantity and complexity of solid waste being generated. While on the other hand it is the government’s and municipality’s mandate to ensure that its citizens stay in a clean and safe environment, it is of concern that waste management remains a big challenge in urban areas especially in developing countries.

The campaign was carryout for 4 hours from 2pm till 5pm and total of 50 sacks of waste were collected and it dumped in municipal waste vehicle. T
