Participating a the event, Dr J Radhakrishnan, IAS, Commissioner of Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC), stated that such drives are the need of the hour, “However it is a collective responsibility of all residents to ensure that garbage and plastic waste is not dumped on roadside or water bodies as it ends up at city’s beaches,” he said.

He added that beaches are habitats of olive ridley turtles; fishermen lose their livelihood as plastic gets stuck in fishing nets, “Let’s all work together and make the city a clean place.”

Also in attendance were Urbaser Sumeet’s CEO, Mahmood Sait, Projects Heads (II & V), Zonal officials and heads of departments. Volunteers from Vivekananda College, Ramakrishna Mission College of Arts and Science, and AM Jain College of Arts and Science, along with the Rotaract Clubs, actively participated in the cleanup. 

The collected waste, particularly plastic bottles and bags, was dispatched to recycling units, according to a statement from Urbaser Sumeet. For more information, contact V.R Hari Balaji (Urbaser Sumeet) at 89255 22001.
