Non-governmental organisations are turning their attention to the city’s beaches as clean-up operations continue across eThekwini following theThe Litterboom Project – an organisation dedicated to removing plastic from rivers in the Durban metro – says last week’s floods left beaches full of plastic litter.

The storm also washed away their critical booms that catch plastic and debris, preventing it from reaching the ocean. Working with Green Corridor and Adopt-A-River, Operations manager, Josh Redman says his team has collected about 700 bags of plastic from a small stretch of beach, south of the Umgeni River mouth.

“Now we focus our attention on the southern bank of the Umgeni where there’s another huge collection. It was a bit difficult to get there last week just because of the water levels. Now it’s come down a bit and we’re going to start focussing on that area. We’ve got teams on Umdloti beaches which have been very badly affected there. But as the week go out we’re going to start to put teams in more locations because the whole coastline is in a very bad state.
