Since December, Comlurb has been reinforcing its cleaning service with the Clean Beach operation - Disclosure This weekend, Comlurb is holding an awareness campaign to encourage beachgoers to keep the city's beaches clean and dispose of waste correctly. Starting at 15:6 p.m., the agents will be at Posto 8 on Copacabana Beach on Saturday (2/11) and at Posto 9 on Leblon Beach on Sunday (2/XNUMX). The events are part of the Clean Beach program, and the actions will feature the participation of street cleaner Renato Sorriso and Chegando de Surpresa, a group of street cleaners who use good humor, jokes and lots of music to carry out awareness campaigns.
Since December, Comlurb has been reinforcing its cleaning services with the Praia Limpa program, held every year in the summer, with an increase in the number of street cleaners and more work shifts, including during the early hours of the morning to leave everything ready for beachgoers the following day. In addition, the Company has made available around 5 120-liter, large-capacity containers for the disposal of coconuts at strategic points along the city's coastline, including on the sand and on access roads and passages.
The street cleaners work with the support of beach tractors with attached rear implements to sift and turn the sand, performing more thorough cleaning and sanitation and reducing impurities, reaching depths of up to 20 centimeters. Mini sanitation machines are also used, with the same functions, but which are smaller and reach areas where tractors cannot operate, such as corners, near rocks, and near sports nets.
The beachfront has water tankers to wash the sidewalks and cycle paths, and large, medium and small sweepers to help with the sweeping service. Comlurb urges beachgoers to use the containers correctly when leaving the beach.
