In all, the region boasts eight local groups - in Olhão, Faro, Almancil, São Brás de Alportel, Loulé, Albufeira, Portimão and Lagos.
Right now, these groups are deciding on the route their clean-up will take – just six weeks away.
They are making GPS-reference points of the various dumps to deal with and identifying the type of rubbish in them, so that they can work out how to remove it.
Only in Faro, the city group made up of more than 200 people has already identified several rubbish “black spots” – 60 sites in all have been confirmed as dumps for various types of refuse.
Of the 52 with GPS reference points in the borough of Faro, 43 are in the pine forest of “Ludo”.
