‘Every participant could decide on what to do: clean up their working place or the streets of Dzerzhinsky District. The employees cleaned lawns and pavements, roads and squares, as well as parks. Over 15 streets were made to look much nicer, including the major arteries like Ilyich St, Okunev St, Zarya St, Vagonostroitely Ave, and Leningradsky Ave. 3,000 employees of Uralvagonzavod alone took part in the event, to say nothing of workers from Ural Transport Machine-Building Design Office (UKBTM), Ural Scientific & Technological Unit (UNTK), Uralcryomash, UBT-Uralvagonzavod, and other member enterprises,’ the company reports.

The litter was transferred onto the landfill site by Uralvagonzavod and UBT Service transport departments.

All the money raised during the clean-up days will be directed to making Dzerzhinsky District even greener.
