BARBADIANS ARE BEING URGED to “pick up after themselves” after more than 200 bags of garbage was removed from a 12-kilometre stretch of West Coast beach yesterday.

The exhortation has come from Gayle Talma, the group operations director of the Elegant Group of Companies as it spearheaded a clean-up campaign as part of Earth Day yesterday.

Workers at Turtle Beach Hotel cleaned the stretch of beach from Brighton to Brandons, St Michael; while those at Waves Hotel and Spa cleaned Batts Rock.

The staff at Daphne’s Restaurant and The House were assigned to Paynes Bay and the fish market; the combined team of Tamarind Hotel and the corporate office combed the beaches of Folkestone and Porters, St James, while Colony Club tackled Weston and its fish market. (HLE)
