Rubbish Clearance in London after Olympics
The Olympic Cauldron glowed, lending a magical aura to the whole ceremony, as the countdown towards the end of the London 2012 Olympic Games began- the ultimate Closing Ceremony. It burned bright. But what burned brighter was the spirit of the London peoples who came to witness it- a glorious end to a grand beginning.
But after the end came a new beginning. You can call it The Olympic Eco-Drive – an attempt aimed at rubbish clearance in London after the Olympics.
The very reason UK won the bid for the 2012 Olympic Games in 2005 was based on their promise to deliver a “Zero Waste Event” even amid controversies of the Olympic Site being a radioactive wasteland.Their promises have been failed on that situation.
After the first weekend of the 2012 London Olympics, a team of 200 cleaners were deployed – a very applauded attempt towards rubbish clearance in London after the Olympics. The cleaners did away with 85 tones of rubbish. The drive of rubbish clearance in London had begun before the very end of the London Olympics. A crew of 55 people and 10 vehicles were deployed for the rubbish clearance on the London streets. They made the execution of the plan for the rubbish clearance in London a tad bit easy. They had collected 17,000 bags of rubbish after the passing of the torch through Westminster.
This drive of rubbish clearance in London has been a big source of challenge for them as even on the first day of the London Olympics itself, the crew of cleaners they had deployed took more than an hour to get rid of the litter left by spectators after the cycle race won by Alexander Vinikourov, an Athlete from Kazakhstan. After Olympic facing many problems for rubbish. They think about how to clear the rubbish.
London partnered with “World Wildlife Fund” and “Bioregionals” to come up with the concept of “One Planet Olympics” which is a program addressing everything from rubbish clearance in London to energy , carbon reduction, public health etc.
The zeal with which the various athletes participated in the 2012 London Olympics, post-Olympics the rubbish clearance of London that followed had the same zeal among the participants- the various cleaning crews, who took up the challenge with great grit and determination. Rubbish clearance London– a mammoth city. But the seemingly impossible task was done and indeed, the 2012 London Olympics delivered its promise of hosting a Green Olympics to a greater degree.
