Mega Island Clean-Up
"Clean-Up · Community"
The aim of this Beach Clean-Up program is to kick off segregation at source under the association's Unwrapping Plastics KK — a US Embassy-funded project under DBKK's Love KK Campaign — by first clearing up the existing pile and taking it back to the mainland where it will be disposed of properly.
Held on 19 March 2023 from 7am to 12pm at Kg Lobong, Gaya Island, with over 200 volunteers.
The villages on the island do not have access to remove rubbish from the island, and the local municipals are not able to bring it back to the mainland. This has resulted in a huge pile of waste overflowing into the surroundings and demotivating the villagers.
A total of 12 tonnes of rubbish was cleared that day. The program fosters a civic-minded spirit among villagers in keeping the island's coastline clean, while raising awareness of the importance of conserving the sea and coastal areas.
20.13t of waste collected
