Windsor clean-up drive brings the community together
The first 2026 community clean-up in Windsor East addressed littering, illegal dumping and general environmental neglect and encouraged community responsibilities and unity.
The Windsor streets were left clean as the community came together for the first clean-up of the year.
The Ward 98 Windsor Community Clean-up Drive marked a significant step towards restoring cleanliness, dignity, and pride in Windsor East.

Residents, volunteers, children, local organisations, businesses, churches and other partners came together to address illegal dumping and environmental neglect, resulting in visibly cleaner streets and reclaimed public spaces.
Organiser Patrick Kule said that a major highlight of the day was the participation of more than 40 children, reinforcing the importance of educating young people about caring for their environment and building a culture of responsibility from an early age.
“Special thanks to the community of Windsor East for showing up in numbers, refusing poor living conditions. Your willingness to act and demand change is the true driving force behind the clean-up success.”
Kule also thanked the partners who played a significant role in this initiative.
“We thank the build-up team who joined us when we cleaned one of the problematic corners, Dukes Avenue and Beatrice Street, ahead of the community clean-up. Our early action laid a strong foundation for the clean-up programme.”

He added that their belief in change, commitment to recycling and consistent community involvement continue to drive sustainable environmental action.
“While the clean-up shows what is possible through collective action, the community remains honest about ongoing challenges. Illegal dumping -including dumping linked to street dwellers and drug users continues to negatively affect Windsor East. As a community, we have reached a firm position: enough is enough.”
The work has begun. Through unity, consistency, and accountability, Windsor East is determined to change its image and achieve the bigger goal of becoming a cleaner, safer, and more dignified place for all.
