Dubai-based – Dulsco Group teamed up with Dubai Municipality ahead of the UAE’s 27th National Environment Day on 4 February 2024 for Dubai Municipality’s “An Hour with the Cleaner” initiative.
A total of 170 volunteers came together for a clean-up of the Flamingo Lake in Al Qudra in support of Dubai Municipality’s ‘An Hour with the Cleaner’ initiative.
The volunteers represented nine entities, including Coca-Cola, Choithrams, Dow Chemical IMEA GmbH (Dubai Branch), Expo City Dubai, Pullman Hotel Sharjah, Slices Catering Services, and Next Generation School, who worked alongside 70 volunteers from Dulsco Group and Dubai Municipality.
More than 100 bags of waste, containing 20 per cent of general waste and 80 per cent of recyclables, were collected and picked up by Dulsco’s Recycling Bus before being sent to Dulsco Environment’s Material Recovery Facility for further sorting, treatment and processing.
“We are so proud that so many have joined the Dubai Municipality and Dulsco Group teams in our clean-up efforts in the Al Qudra area today. We are seeing an increasing number of people and organisations taking a keen interest in preserving the environment and donating their time to ensure its protection and preservation, so that people can enjoy the emirate’s flora and fauna and diversity of landscape,” said John Grainger, Chief Operating Officer of Dulsco Environment.
“Dulsco Group has been an active partner of the initiative, which continues to highlight the consistent attention and care placed by Dubai’s leadership on the environment, since 1997. Supported by like-minded entities, corporations and individuals who are dedicated to preserving the environment, initiatives like this help everybody to play their part, so the environment is protected today for the generations of tomorrow,” he added.
