SOUTH HALMAHERA – PT Gelora Mandiri Membangun (GMM) organized a cleanup at Harun Beach in South Halmahera Regency, North Maluku, as part of a commitment to coastal hygiene and sustainability. The activity on Saturday (8/15/2026) was a collaborative effort between GMM employees and the Harun Beach community.
Together, they collected trash along the shoreline and sorted it for disposal or further use. This action can reduce the risk of pollution while keeping the area clean.
Beyond cleaning the beach, this initiative aimed to promote greater community participation in maintaining environmental hygiene. GMM hopes it will encourage coastal protection and proper waste disposal.
