Clean up Bolgoda

 

"Clean up Bolgoda" campaigns were held at Gangasiripura, north of Bolgoda Lake on 11th of June 2007.

Reported by Nethmi Disssanayke / Wiraji and Amila - EMACE volunteers.

 

The clean up campaigns were organized prior to the tree-planting campaign. The event was attended by the Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Moratuwa, Municipal Commissioner, members of the Lake Conservation Committee, EMACE volunteers and villagers.

 

Before the campaigns

 
 

Approx. 0.45 km along the river bank were cleaned up and approximately 130 people participated in the event.

The garbage removed from the area amounted to 13 tractor loads (10 ft x 10 ft, corresponding 9 cubic m).

 

However, local authority officials appealed to the Global community at the end of the clean up programme, to assist them in finding technical assistance for a proper saw-dust disposal system to solve the century old saw-dust issue at Bolgoda Lake.
