Emeris Waterfall staff marked World Clean-up Day by rolling up their sleeves and helping clean up Janadel Avenue in Midrand as part of the campus’ efforts to support a cleaner local environment.

The community clean-up formed part of World Clean-up Day, an annual global social action programme observed on September 20 to raise awareness of the global solid waste crisis and encourage communities to take action.

During the clean-up, staff collected more than eight bags of waste along the avenue, with some of the waste separated for recycling. The campus’ garden services provider also trimmed the grass after the clean-up, helping to improve the appearance and general upkeep of the area.

The initiative forms part of Emeris’ environmental impact goals, which aim to protect and develop its immediate and regional environments and resources while fostering resilient communities and a sustainable world for future generations.

Emeris Waterfall campus head Leanne Coetzee said the campus planned to continue with similar initiatives in the area.

“We plan to repeat this effort soon to help maintain the area and to continue supporting our local community,” said Coetzee.

The clean-up highlights the role that local institutions can play in encouraging environmental responsibility and contributing to the upkeep of shared community spaces.
