Volunteers' memo

For the convenience of volunteers, we have prepared a memo on the separate collection of garbage during our clean-ups. You can use it if you have any doubts.

Basic participation rules

Safety first! Be careful while dealing with potentially hazardous waste. Don’t walk on steep hillsides.

Take a bottle of water, headwear, sunscreen.

We will provide you with all necessary equipment, including gloves.

Always follow the instructions of the group coordinator!

After the clean-up please share your photos in social media and tag us ;)
