Numerous sacks of garbage and trash containing non-biodegradable and other materials such as plastics, glass and metals were collected and recorded on the ICC data cards provided to the participants. All information, issues and concerns gathered during the said clean-up will be used in helping our lawmakers formulate policies and raise awareness to the worsening environmental problem that we encountered nowadays.
