Due to continuous rainfall and excessive wave activity in Alanya, a common occurrence during the winter months, waste often washes up on the shore. Following this, cleaning teams from the Alanya Municipality and the Alanya Association of Tourism Operators (ALTİD) collect the waste and remove it from the beaches.
Waste carried to the sea by rivers, combined with pollution on the seabed, is causing the beaches to look unsightly. Waste accumulating on the beaches of Alanya is being removed from the beaches primarily through the intervention of the ALTİD beach cleaning team, with the support of vehicles/teams and cooperation from the Alanya Municipality's Cleaning Services, Public Works, and Environmental Protection and Control Departments. Plastic bags, nylon, plastic bottles, and tin cans are bagged, while plant debris, reeds, and wood waste are collected in one place, separated from the sand, and removed, with care taken to ensure the cleanliness of the beaches.
