A press release by Cans For Kids said that young people from the bi-communal Peace Players group, medical students from the University of Nicosia and regular volunteers at the recycling charity were joined by adults bringing their children and supporters of other environmental movements in a 2-hour endeavour to collect trash from the surrounding areas which was then brought back to Cans for Kids for sorting.

About 50 large bags were filled with rubbish were collected in 30 minutes, then the volunteers set about separating what could be recycled from rubbish that had to be discarded.

The cans were baled and plastics and glass deposited in the relevant recycling containers.
