The Upper Manyame Sub-Catchment Council participated in a clean-up campaign at Newlands Shops as part of ongoing efforts to promote environmental cleanliness and responsible waste management. The clean-up exercise focused on removing litter and waste from the surrounding area, helping to improve the cleanliness of the shopping area and its surroundings. The initiative also provided an opportunity to encourage responsible waste disposal and greater awareness of the importance of maintaining clean public spaces.
For the Upper Manyame Sub-Catchment Council, environmental cleanliness is an important part of protecting water resources. Improper disposal of waste can contribute to pollution when litter and other waste are carried into drainage systems and water bodies, affecting the quality of water resources within the catchment. The Council’s participation reflects its continued commitment to promoting environmental awareness and catchment protection. Clean-up activities provide a practical way of encouraging communities and businesses to take responsibility for their surroundings and reduce activities that can contribute to environmental pollution.
The Upper Manyame Sub-Catchment Council encourages members of the public to dispose of waste responsibly and to play their part in keeping communities clean. Protecting the environment also contributes to the protection of the water resources on which communities and economic activities depend. Clean surroundings, responsible waste disposal and protected water resources all contribute to a healthier environment.
