City Friends Club, in collaboration with the Polemidia municipality, is calling for 300 volunteers to help restore Polemidia Hill behind the General Hospital, an area that has once again been overwhelmed by waste despite previous cleanup efforts.
This location became a hotspot for illegal dumping because it was one of the closest areas where people could dispose of waste discreetly without facing fines or paying for proper disposal. Although the site was cleaned before, it quickly became polluted again. Now, gates will be installed after this cleanup to prevent further dumping, with City Friends Club receiving exclusive access to maintain the area.
The municipality has already removed 30 trucks of bulky waste, but much more remains. Since heavy machinery could harm the fragile local ecosystem, a coordinated volunteer effort is the only sustainable solution.
