Darko’s specialized road cleaning equipment consists of broomsticks attached to a three-tyre trolley (or let’s say cart). This setup is firmly attached to the back of the bicycle.

As the bicycle travels along the street, the sweepers not only sweeps the road, but also captures plastics and everything that gets in its way.

Unlike conventional and polluting road sweepers used in developed nations, this ecofriendly sweeper is also cost effective.

This is because the broomsticks are the only components that needs to be replaced.
