On the afternoon of April 8, over 10,000 urban management volunteers carried out the beautifying activities of tidying the fences and cleaning up the green belt garbage in cross-river bridges, green fields in riverside parks and major streets and parks in all the towns and districts. It is learned from Ningbo Urban Management Bureau that in the near future the related departments will launch the urban streets cleaning campaign to make a cleaner Ningbo.

"There are over 6,800 sanitation workers doing cleaning jobs every day in the city. Anyway, it is far from enough to keep the whole city in constant tidiness. Joint efforts made by the public is indispensible in the city-beautifying campaign." said Luo Wei, Director of Ningbo Urban Management Volunteers Association. He hope that the action of the volunteers can have a subtle influence on more citizens.

According to the urban management departments, besides the above-mentioned beautifying activity, a special fund of 70 million yuan will be set up to be used in the year-long street-cleaning campaign. It is hope that through this campaign, the sweeping rate by machine will increase from 45% to 75%, thus reducing greatly the labor intensity of the sanitation workers. The garbage on road will be cleaned up within 15 minutes. The property management departments, sanitation workers and residents will work together to take responsibility for the cleaning job of all the areas.
