In line with the current restrictio­ns around 15 staff from Asco Motors participat­ed in a clean-up campaign in Suva.

With health authoritie­s raising awareness on the prevention of leptospiro­sis, typhoid and dengue, the cleaning up of old tyres, bottles, tins and general rubbish was an opportunit­y for the Asco Motors family to show support in ensuring a more healthy environmen­t to the Suva community.

Clean-up campaign route

From 8am on Saturday morning, the Asco Motors Suva’s clean-up campaign route was along Ratu Mara, Ratu Dovi Road and Nokonoko Road. Asco Motors national sales and marketing manager Linda Schramm says, “Clean up campaigns like this allows our teams to not only do something for the environmen­t but also do something for our neighbors.

“Everyone enjoys driving and walking on clean and tidy streets and we get a lot of satisfacti­on in leaving the route cleaner than when we first arrived”.

However, clean up campaigns will only have a long term success rate if everyone played a part by putting their rubbish in the bin and having pride in their surroundin­gs.

“If everyone did their part and just put rubbish in the bins, this includes ATM receipts, bus ticket receipts, empty juice bottles, straws and wrappers, our surroundin­gs would benefit in the best ways possible which in turn will benefit all of us,” Schramm added.
