# Week 1: Trashfree Tudikhel Campaign held in Kathmandu on 07 March 2015
Clean up Nepal undertook its first cleanup event at Tudikhel grounds on Saturday, 07 March 2015 from 8am to 10am as part of the Trash-free Tudikhel Campaign. Participants gathered at the western gate and the western periphery of Tudhikel was chosen for the cleanup. Participants of the cleanup included team members from Clean up Nepal, members from UNX and Let’s Play Together, environmentalists and users of the ground.
After participants registered, a briefing session took place whereby the overall aim of setting up a waste management system at Tudikhel was explained. This waste management system consists of the setup of basic infrastructure such as public bins and a public toilet, timely collection of waste from these bins and instilling a habit by ground users to use these bins to dispose their waste. The weekly cleanups are a mechanism to interact with the ground users to raise awareness about a no-littering culture at Tudikhel as well as to obtain a better understanding of the types and volume of waste generated at Tudikhel, which can provide a basis for planning the design, capacity and placement of public bins at the grounds.
Participants were divided into smaller groups, each provided with a set of brooms, shovel, masks, gloves and a doko. The cleanup continued till 9.45am, after which the trash collected was disposed into the garbage truck provided by the Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC) and the items provided by KMC accounted for. Participants also engaged with the ground users. A group photo ended the first week of the Trash-free Tudikhel Campaign.
The Trashfree Tudikhel Campaign will continue next Saturday on 14 March from 8am to 10am. For further details, please click here.
