Waste accumulating on the seabed is being washed ashore by waves reaching up to 2 meters. The Alanya Tourism Operators Association (ALTİD) cleaning team is working to eliminate the resulting pollution. Beaches in the eastern and western regions of Alanya are being restored to their former appearance through day-long efforts. ALTİD Chairman Burhan Sili reminded that they have been carrying out landscaping and cleaning work on the beaches for 12 months. "City cleanliness cannot be achieved only by institutions and cleaning personnel. Our local and foreign citizens, especially those who reside here, need to be very sensitive. Waste such as cigarette butts thrown into drains or plastic bottles thrown into streams that flow into the sea, causes significant pollution on the beaches after heavy rainfall," he said.
