All hands-on deck for nationwide clean-up exercise across Guyana

All hands will come on deck as a nationwide clean-up exercise is set for Saturday, with all administrative regions expected to participate in a coordinated effort to enhance sanitation across Guyana.
The exercise will commence at 06:00h and will see residents, community groups, and local authorities joining forces to clean and restore public spaces in both urban and hinterland communities.
Regional mobilisation areas have been identified to ensure widespread participation. These include Maburuma in Region One (Barima–Waini); Anna Regina in Region Two (Pomeroon–Supenaam); Vreed-en-Hoop in Region Three (Essequibo Islands–West Demerara); Georgetown in Region Four (Demerara–Mahaica); Fort Wellington in Region Five (Mahaica–Berbice); New Amsterdam in Region Six (East Berbice–Corentyne); Kamarang in Region Seven (Cuyuni–Mazaruni); Mahdia in Region Eight (Potaro–Siparuni), Lethem in Region Nine (Upper Takutu–Upper Essequibo), and Linden in Region Ten (Upper Demerara–Berbice).
In Georgetown, several key mobilisation points have been designated to facilitate the exercise. These include Mandela Avenue and Sheriff Street, D’Urban Park, High Street, and the Railway Embankment corridor stretching from Sheriff Street to Ogle.
Organisers are encouraging citizens to take part in the initiative, noting that collective action is essential in maintaining a cleaner and healthier environment. Participants are urged to arrive early, equipped with the necessary tools, and ready to contribute to what is expected to be a significant national effort.
The clean-up exercise is part of ongoing efforts to promote civic responsibility and environmental stewardship across the country.
Citizens are encouraged to bring tools and participate in the clean-up and beautification efforts, such as clearing drains and repainting medians.
The nationwide clean-up exercise was initiated by President Dr Irfaan Ali.
