Most of the garbage collected were silt, plastic bags, and plastic bottles. Vice Mayor Michael Rama, who initiated the project, said that the clean-up today in line with the celebration of the International Coastal Clean-Up Day is simply the start of a long process of rehabilitation of the rivers and waterways.“The clean-up is just the start of the many more activities we will do to clean the environment because we need to clean our city so that our future generation will have something to enjoy,” he said.
The vice mayor wants the massive clean-up to be done quarterly as a means to remind the people that coastal clean-ups is not a once-a-year kind of activity, it is a continuous effort.
