Mountain climbing is a sport as well as recreational activity which in certain situations results in piles of garbage left in various locations (at the top, around the camp, and along the trails). The activity called Operation Mount Cikuray Garbage Cleanup aims to clean up affordable locations from rubbish, especially those made of plastic. The activity was carried out on Saturday-Sunday, 29-30 August 2020 through Kiara Janggot, Garut City, West Java. The activity was attended by 52 people with the youngest participants aged 9 years and the oldest 45 years, 38 men and 14 women. The garbage collected and brought to the foot of the mountain is around 60 and 15 20 kg sacks, a total of about 400 kg. Types of waste are generally bottles (plastic bottles containing urine, bottled drinking water bottles, liquor bottles, bottle caps), sanitary napkins, tissue wrappers, instant noodle wrappers, and cigarette butts. This activity is very beneficial, in addition to cleanliness, health and environmental sustainability, as well as for individuals who participate in the activity, both physically and mentally.
