4 community 'sheds' stored with reusable tools set up to help with beach clean-ups
Located near washing and trash collection points as well as toilets, these “sheds” - dubbed CleanPods - come with reusable tools such as garden carts, metal tongs, buckets, weighing scales and sieves, said the Public Hygiene Council and National Parks Board in a joint statement on Wednesday .
Three more CleanPods are expected to be set up at Changi Beach Park and East Coast Park by the year-end, with more to be introduced in parks across Singapore in 2020, said the PHC and NParks. Challenging to clear flotsam at beachesWhile beaches are cleaned four times a week and twice daily, it remains “extremely challenging” to remove flotsam entirely from the coastal areas, more so during the monsoon seasons, the authorities noted.
