Ahead of World Envioronment Day, SustyVibers in Port Harcourt headed to the streets on June 4 to commemorate this day.
The activities include evacuation of organic waste that was collected in bin bags and neatly packaged, while plastic and nylon waste were collected in bin bags for collection by cleaners of the Rivers State Waste Management Agency (RIWAMA).
