Cleanup Drive for Jerusalem Residents on Wednesday
By T. Sofer
Two hundred and fifty thousand Jerusalem residents were
expected to participate in the Jerusalem Green Day cleanup
drive on Wednesday 4 Nisan according to municipality
forecasts, including all schools and kindergartens,
neighborhood residents, community administrations, students,
soldiers, environmental watch volunteers, the elderly,
Jerusalem organizations and municipality workers and
administrators.
Participants will be equipped with plastic sacks, brooms,
brushes, paint, gloves and shrubs. All of the municipality's
street cleaners, garbage trucks and cranes used to lift heavy
discarded items and junk metal will be out in force as
well.
The municipality has asked the Guinness Book of World
Records to list the campaign, initiated by Mayor Rabbi
Uri Lupoliansky, as the world's largest cleanup drive.
The municipality is also conducting a broad campaign to clean
and spruce up the city for Pesach as part of the Mayor's
policy of prioritizing cleanliness, environmental quality and
quality of life for Jerusalem residents. Hundreds of city
workers are working overtime manning the city's fleet of 120
cleanup vehicles.
