USS Cleveland Personnel Recycling with VEPA

Monday was the recycling morning of public areas, 25 Navy personnel from America and Australia joined VEPA and local volunteers in the market and around Neiafu town to help encourage recycling.

This project was put together by VEPA as we remain strong on improving the waste management and recycling here in Vava'u. Community houses also recycled and the truck provided by Tonga Defence and US Navy collected all the trash and took it to GIO Recycling.

Many thanks to all the Navy personnel for making it a great event, we still continue to strive for more community involvement in waste management and will be looking to provide permanent solutions to the rubbish issues in the next year. Many thanks also to Adriana from Mystic Sands for joining in.
