Amsterdammers may be complaining bitterly about the amount
of rubbish on the city’s streets at the moment, but council officials cleaned
up over 101 tonnes of garbage left behind by revellers after Saturday’s Pride
canal parade.
Last year the garbage mountain totalled 81 tonnes.
In particular, a lot of glass had been dumped on the street
and in litter bins this year, officials said. The clean-up campaign started
around midnight and was done by 6.30 in the morning. In total, 17 crews were
involved.
City water company Waternet also fished rubbish from the
canals including plastic dolphins, disco glitter balls, balloons and parking
signs on top of the usual plastic and tin cans, the Parool reported.
The parade attracts hundreds of thousands of people and this
year passed off without any problems, the organisers say.
