Volunteers spruce up River Seco in Pilar de la Horadada

PILAR DE LA HORADADA’S Youth department recently organised a clean-up operation for the River Seco in Pinar de Campoverde.

Volunteers, who included Pilar’s mayor Jose Maria Perez, Environment councillor Pedro Moya and Equality councillor Susi Sanchez collected 598 kilos of rubbish between them.

The area they cleared was the little-visited River Seco tributary, Maja de las Vacas, which fly-tippers have used for years as a dumping ground.

“Now that the area has been cleared, there is less likelihood of rubbish and litter being swept down the Rio Seco walking route during heavy rain,” Pedro Moya said.
