Clean Up Campaign Visit Kinbu

The Clean Up Campaign group visited Kinbu to find out what the current sanitation framework is like. Many people expressed the view that it was not as bad as they thought it would be, which is always encouraging.

It was established that there are currently bins in every classroom as well as two large bins on the school compound. These bins regularly overflow as the current arrangement with Zoomlion is for a weekly collection. Although it would be beneficial to have more than one collection, the school cannot currently afford any more at this point.

The Clean Up campaign are currently investigating avenues for the collection of recyclable rubbish at Kinbu. Revenue collected from this project can go towards funding additional Zoomlion collection days.

For this to be possible, it is necessary to purchase approximately 60 small and three large bins, so that paper and plastic recyclable waste can be collected separately from other biodegradable and non-recyclable rubbish. A proposal has been sent to Zoomlion, and although a response has not been received yet, their CSR department seemed quite excited at the prospect of working with the school. We’ll keep you posted, so be sure to keep checking back for updates!
