Juhu Coastal Cleanup: 312 kg Removed

Overview

Our February cleanup at Juhu Beach brought together student volunteers, resident groups, and local vendors for a focused shoreline action.

• 312 kg mixed waste removed
• 180+ youth volunteers on ground
• 4 segregated waste categories collected

What Worked

• Zone-based teams reduced overlap and confusion.
• A short briefing before start improved safety and pace.
• Local partners helped with faster disposal routing.

Lessons For Next Drive

• Add one extra hydration station for late morning heat.
• Start reusable glove distribution 20 minutes earlier.
• Expand neighborhood outreach two days before the event.

Why This Matters

Cleanup events are not only about removal numbers. They build civic ownership and visible public proof that consistent small actions can change local ecosystems.
