ZEGU Bindura Clean-up Campaign

ZEGU Bindura Clean-up Campaign

7/19/2018 11:24:22 AM
INTRODUCTION
As part of learning and community responsibility the Department of Social Work engaged many stakeholders in a joint effort to raise awareness on environmental cleanliness and demonstrate the idea by cleaning identified hot spots for litter. The effort to engage in the clean-up exercise was inspired by the International Social Workers Day (ISWD) theme for this year. The theme for 2018 commemorations is ‘Professional Social Work, Community and Environmental Sustainability.’ It is a relevant theme as social work interventions all over the world are under siege from unstable climatic conditions accentuated by global warming which is perpetuated by unsustainable environmental activities. The clean-up joint initiative, which had an educational thrust, was carried out on Saturday 2 June 2018 in the CBD of Bindura town.
Leading by example……National Association of Social Work Students President (NASWS) ZEGU Branch, Timothy Chimwaza (in cap) prepares to help a colleague lift the metal bin to empty in the awaiting truck.


RECOMMENDATIONS

    •     Vendors interviewed recommended for more bins to be put near their vending stalls. This ensures that there is little effort needed to place litter in      the bins.
    •     General populace recommended for the municipality to regularly collect garbage to avoid pile ups.
    •     It is prudent for the clean-up campaign to be covered by various media houses including ZTV. The coverage should include clean-up activities, education activities as well as interviews. This will raise community consciousness about littering.
    •     There is need for strict enforcement of by-laws which criminalises dumping rubbish at undesignated sites.
    •     Property or business owners must provide bins along their corridors to help ease pressure on the municipality in collecting litter.
    •     Educational programmes on environmental cleanliness must be carried out relentlessly to the members of the public.

     It is the people who cause the littering problem, and let the people solve it!!!!
