Wendy de Klerk, organiser of the clean-up, said they held this event on Thursday, August 25 because the area needed a clean-up and residents in the area were complaining about the mess at the stream.
Some Hoërskool Riebeeckrand learners came to help.
“The schools are addressing the environment and litter, and recycling as part of their curriculum and that is one of the reasons they came to lend a helping hand,” said De Klerk.
She added that even though only 12 people turned up, they managed to collect between 40 to 50 bags of rubbish and make the area look new again.
The clean-up was a great success and we are really happy with the result.”
De Klerk thanked the following sponsors who made the day possible – Truter, Crous & Wiggill who sponsored black bags from a previous event and water for this event, and Randgate Pharmacy who sponsored gloves. The rakes were sponsored by NWK.
