Hungary To Hold Nationwide Clean-Up Campaign On June 2
Hungary will hold a nationwide environment clean-up campaign on June 2, the second time after last year's initial event, the farm minister told a press conference on Tuesday.

Volunteers, representatives of civil groups, communities and local governments are invited to join the Teszedd (You Pick It Up!) 2012 programme to be held between 8am and 6pm on the day, Sandor Fazekas said.

As a co-organiser, the Interior Ministry will provide trucks and excavators to help the clean-up together with 3,750 people who are enrolled in the state's public work programme, Sandor Pinter, the Interior Minister, said.

Other organisers include the Justice Ministry, the National Waste Management Authority and the National Civil Guards.

The first-ever national clean-up last year was joined by 160,000 volunteers, Bence Retvari, state secretary at the Justice Ministry said.
