Some lovely story from the cleanup day
At some points we didn't get any container form the municipality so we decided to use a guy with a skate board to go to the main separating waste facility.

Cleanup project: Let's do it, France! – 22.09.2012 (All day)
Contact: julien@letsdoitfrance.org
Actual number of volunteers: 9134
Amount of waste collected: 341 tons
Short overview
We had just random people (70%) and a few local NGOs that are fighting against trash (30%). A lot of people were happy to participate but our communication campaign started very late - 6 weeks prior the event. The big NGO working on cleanups refused to participate with us. Some local authorities cleaned the trash before we came. This year was a test for us, we need to do another action next year... Situation before the cleanup We have really inaccurate data. We have about 1000 illegal dump sites in France.
