Williams said it was his passion to clean up the planet and reduce the number of plastics that land up in the oceans. “Everyone has to get involved in saving this planet or we will not have a planet in the near future. We are destroying this planet at an alarming rate and only together, we can change the world,” said Williams.

“I want to leave a legacy for my children to continue after I leave this planet. I am passionate about employing unemployed township residents who have nothing and no hope. I love educating children at schools as they are the future of the planet.”

Williams and his team collect about 1 600 bags of litter each week, 50 per cent of which is recycled.

“The team cleans up Monday to Friday from 8.30am to 3.30pm and over the past five months we have collected 38 289 bags, which is around 268 023kg of litter and we have also built 51 ecobrick dustbins.”

In addition to his goal of collecting 100 000 bags of litter, Williams hopes to build 100 ecobrick dustbins by the end of the year.

The organisation is funded purely on donations from the community with two permanent sponsors being Live Real Estate and Fourways Crossing which donate a combined total of R9 500 per month. Williams requires R40 000 per month to fund the project which employs 11 previously unemployed staff from Diepsloot five days a week.
