In Ajman’s “Al Tallah 1” area, an extraordinary 1,210 volunteers gathered,

and Caps, to make a meaningful impact on the environment. Covering an
extensive 5-square-kilometer area, their efforts highlighted the campaign’s

across the UAE. Collectively, the volunteers removed 1,750 kilograms of
waste, including 345 kilograms of recyclable materials—such as paper,
plastic, aluminum cans, glass, and scrap metal—that were meticulously

segregated to be taken to local recycling factories.
