RN-Purneftegas Volunteers Clean Up 40 Hectares of the Pyakupur River Bank of Domestic Waste
RN-Purneftegaz volunteers initiated the Clean Banks of the Pyakupur River campaign in Gubkinsky (Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District). Over 150 employees, together with citizens, cleaned up a record area of over 40 hectares – the entire bank of the river within the city and the neighbouring forest park. The activists collected more than a tonne of rubbish, from which they sorted out plastic, metal and glass and sent it for recycling.
