27th February 2019, Sentul – EcoKnights in partnership with HSBC held a Community Log Boom Clean Up in Gombak River beside PPR Sri Terengganu from 9.30am to 1.00pm.

The clean up run successfully with 40 volunteers coming from HSBC group, assisted by 15 EcoKnights team members and 2 ERE consulting group officers. The objectives of this Community Log Boom Clean Up are to engage more people with the river within River Of Life project area, and encourage people to do waste segregation & proper waste disposal at their home to avoid the rubbish ending up in the river.

The result for the clean up is unexpectedly high, with a total collection of 510.9 kg of waste.

Apart from the Log Boom Clean Up, the volunteers also learnt about mudball and its river-cleaning effect in the workshop handled by EcoKnights team members. The workshop took about 30 minutes in total, 20 minutes for the workshop and 10 minutes for the “Mudball Throwing” activity.
