81kgs Of Waste Collected From Villimale’ Beach!

Save the beach is a non-profit enterprise dedicated to preserve the beaches of Villingili. Every Friday, clean-up events are hosted by the team in small groups to collect waste.  



 
The East Beach of Villimale’ was cleaned last Friday starting from inside the shoreline vegetation all the way up to the surf house. In two hours, they gathered 7 bags of mixed rubbish (38.6kg) and 15 bags of solid waste (42.95kg), totaling 81.5kg of waste. Within 2 hours, 7 bags of mixed waste and 15 bags totaling to 81.5kgs of waste. That is the weight of an average man! Imagine, if we all picked up our trash, one day, Save the Beach will have so little trash to pick up.  

 
All the recyclable plastics are sent to Parley Maldives for recycling. Parley Maldives works to encourage recycling and reduce plastic wastage throughout the islands of Maldives.  
 
Save the beach expresses gratitude towards the volunteers who participated and looks forward for the next Friday!
