Mr. Rahimi, Urban Services Deputy said: "About 30-40 million tons of construction rubble have been depot. Cleansing this rubble has begun from earlier of this year and so far it has been done in districts 1, 2, 3, and 6, and today we have started this process in district 5 on the occasion of Environment Week. We will also collect all construction rubble in the city by the end of this year that has been named as Clean Earth."
He also emphasized: "However a campaign, called 'Rubble Management Campaign' has been formed and in the form of this campaign all drivers who are active in handling and transporting rubble should take traffic tab, this cleansing will be ineffective unless the culture of shedding rubble and waste would be correct.
