Litter Collection Drive in my Society

I am part of an eco-club in my apartment complex. Here we learn about various facts like composting, segregation of waste and we also do some social service activities like collecting old newspaper from residents, cleaning the apartment plaza area and etc. Today we cleaned and collected all the plastic and dry waste present in the jogging track.


As there were many young kids and some older ones, the volunteers split us into two groups. The small children made paper bags whereas the older ones cleaned and collected plastic and dry waste in the jogging track. All of us wore protective gloves while collecting the garbage. We collected different things like chips packets, plastic bottles, few glass bottles and some broken ceramic tiles. Everything we collected was put in a bucket. We also found a few paint buckets, chocolate wrappers, cigarettes and much more.


This is an areal view of the eco-club members. This collection drive took us an hour to finish and then at the end of the drive, we all gathered at the clubhouse and shared our experiences with each other. Below there is a picture which shows you all the waste we collected.


I enjoyed the activity a lot and I am looking forward to all the future eco-club meetings and activities. I am very happy as I have contributed in making my apartment complex nice and clean.
