World Clean Up 2012

Category: Activities Published: Saturday, 24 March 2012

Members of DZRJ Luka Čeč have participated in World Cleanup project. This time our goal was to clean the cave "Mačkovec" near village Veliki Otok. In a realtively small cave there is a huge pile of waste due to the fact that the cave is in close proximity of houses and that Veliki Otok got organized waste management only fifteen years ago. Judging by the state of waste cave wasn't used as a depot since then and we were spared of handling decomposing remainings. The cleanup was still no picnic.

They say that cave 'Mačkovec' once had a much bigger entrance. Under the leaves we found garbage.
We put the garbage in barrels.
And pulled the barrels out of the cave with a rope.
The container is gradually filling up.
Lunch break.
The contanier is nearly full.
We still haven't found a hint of solid ground.
We're about to end.
