Send to KindleThousands of Bulgarians across Bulgaria are going out Saturday on a campaign to clean rubbish from streets and parks.
The campaign, initiated and supported by a network of public institutions, media and companies, attempts to raise awareness about problems with waste disposal.
In addition to cleaning up, the "Let's Clean Bulgaria for One Day" action intends to somehow counteract a popular Bulgarian practice of throwing your trash wherever it may occur.
Not less than 120 illegal waste dumping grounds have been uncovered in capital Sofia before Saturday mid-day, reported Mayor Yordanka Fandakova.
