Tbilisi welcomes street vacuum cleaners

Ensuring the streets of Georgia’s capital city are clean and free of rubbish is the aim of a new initiative involving industrial-sized vacuum cleaners.

Today Governmental organisation Tbilservice Group announced it had purchased several modern hand-held machines that could intensively clean Tbilisi streets.

The machines are large enough to carry out large-scaled cleaning activities but small enough to manouever in small spaces and access dirt and rubbish in hard-to-reach areas.

Cleaning efforts would begin today, said Tbilservice.

The organisation purchased 10 street vacuum cleaners and these would be used along the city’s major streets, public parks and anywhere larger motorised street sweepers can’t access.

It is important that we have recently renewed our techniques so we can better and faster clean the city. As a result our city will be very clean and less polluted,” said first director of Tbilservice Group Davit Dolidze.

The street vacuum cleaners will mainly be used after large events or public celebrations are held in the city where vast numbers of people are on the streets, said the organisation. At such events people often dropped rubbish on the street and at the end of the event the streets and other public areas were quite dirty and polluted.
