Moroccans thank 'hero' sanitation workers for efforts during Eid Al Adha

Moroccan social media users are turning to various platforms to celebrate  for their efforts following Eid Al Adha celebrations.

‌Unlike previous years, Moroccans seem to be more satisfied during this Eid with the cleanliness of their surroundings before and after the slaughter process.

‌People launched an online campaign launched on Facebook to thank cleaners for their efforts during this religious occasion.

‌A “Thank you heroes” hashtag is trending on the platform, to thank Moroccan cleaners and sanitary workers in various cities, accompanied by pictures of some of them collecting waste and cleaning streets, neighborhoods and waste collection points.

‌

Various sanitation companies had announced they will start the cleaning process from one o’clock in the afternoon on Eid day, to avoid having compiled waste in cities.

‌“I wanted to direct thousands of greetings and appreciation to the good-hearted people and the cleaners who keep watch over the cleanliness of our neighborhoods and streets, especially on this blessed day,” wrote a blogger on Facebook under the dedicated hashtag.

‌Others chose this virtual campaign to urge the companies employing the sanitation workers to properly care for them, demanding fair and generous compensation for their work.

‌Abdel Samad Dokan, president of the Moroccan Initiative for Science and Thought Association, stressed that these workers’ efforts during the past two days are an important motivation to improve their working conditions and compensation.

‌The activist, in a statement to Hespress, called on citizens to appreciate the noble work done by the cleaners, to look at them in a positive way and to respect and value their efforts and professionalism.
