The event is expected to witness the participation of more than 1,000 volunteers belonging to many government and private agencies.

Saifaie added that within the framework of this year's Clean Up the World campaign, in its 28th edition, a set of awareness messages will be presented electronically, in addition to field activities, through which the most prominent awareness concepts in the field of public cleanliness will be highlighted, such as the use of sustainable and environmentally friendly bags instead. of plastic bags, in addition to introducing participants to the various services provided by Dubai Municipality in this field, available through the Municipality's website and smart App, such as the Bulky Waste Disposal Service and the Agricultural Waste Disposal Service.
