The People Who Keep the Celebration Moving
BACOLOD - A festival can produce plenty of excitement, but it can also produce plenty of waste. As MassKara activities bring more people into public spaces, street sweepers and Clean and Green personnel are among those responsible for dealing with the trash left behind. On October 15, 500 raincoats and 500 reflectorized vests were turned over for personnel working in these areas, providing protection from rain while helping make workers more visible to passing motorists. Their work may happen quietly in the background, but it directly affects how residents and visitors experience Bacolod's busiest celebration spaces.

Every Piece of Trash Has a Better Place
Keeping festival areas clean does not depend entirely on cleanup crews. Festivalgoers can make their work easier by placing bottles, food packaging, cups, tissues, and other waste into the appropriate bins instead of leaving them on sidewalks, streets, or open spaces. Whenever possible, reusable bottles and containers can also reduce the amount of rubbish produced during a day of festivities. If recycling bins or segregation facilities are available, separating recyclable materials from other waste can give discarded items another possible use instead of sending everything to the same waste stream.
