Ajarco Services & Equipment are planning to do a cleanup of Kubbar Island tomorrow, the details are below:
We would also like to take this opportunity to announce our Second KUBBAR Island cleaning campaign that is scheduled for coming Saturday 26th of May 2012 to clean up the remaining debris and other litter.
During this event you can test drive our New 2012 model ARGO HDi Special Edition amphibious ATV (www.argoatv.com).
All are welcome to volunteer for this event (up to 10 persons, first come basis), and those people who would like to join us with their boats can team up with us at the Island.
All arrangements for food and beverages will be made by us only thing which volunteers are requested to bring is their backpacks.
All this will depend upon the weather condition so please check our facebook page (fb/ajarco) for timely updates.
If weather permits we will be leaving the docking harbor at Fintas behind coast guard building around 11 am and all are requested to reach there before 11.
Please let us know if any further assistance is required.
The amphibious ATV sounds like fun. Check out the video above of their last cleanup and visit their Facebook if you’re interested [Link]

This is a great initiatives, but its during the wrong time of the year. It is very hot outside.
I would love to take part but its not safe.
I recommend you repeat this next year around Feb/March.
It’s hot 90% of the time in Kuwait. Doing things like this only during the 10% is nonsensical.
But I don’t agree with volunteer cleanup campaigns here.
You can’t clean up the mentalities of those who litter in the first place except through heavy-handed punishment.
These cleans up are to protect the habitat and wildlife. You can’t just leave the trash there and hope when people’s mentalities change someone will do the work.
Anyhow, I agree with Zorbon, the weather is nice from November through March. I’d get a heatstroke if I went there now and started cleaning up at noon.
I agree nkoler, but they would definitely get more people in milder weather.
Guys, if the weather is not stormy and there is no wind, a trip to Kubar will show you how nice the weather is away from the main land . there is tens of boats every week end there and no one seam to complain about the heat when they are littering the island , cleanup would not be more difficult physically than any other activity undertaken in the island .
According to the weather reports its supposed to be dusty all weekend. I hope they don’t get stuck if the boats can’t make it out.
I’m so proud of them. God bless š
