Kiribati struggled to keep clean when there was no easy option for rubbish disposal.

Rubbish collection is usually once per week.

Green Bag collectors in South Tarawa, Kiribati.

Bags are collected from designated points which include trees, fences and benches to keep them up off the ground.

Regular rubbish collection has inspired many communities to maintain cleaner environments.

For decades, rubbish would find its way into the sand and reef.

Most of the rubbish is plastic packaging but it also includes clothing, metal, glass, building refuse and more.
