To summarise in Albanian, keep the main idea, remove secondary details and rephrase rather than copying long stretches of text.

Një grup vullnetarësh pastron çdo muaj një pjesë të parkut të qytetit.Ata mbledhin mbeturinat dhe ndajnë materialet që mund të riciklohen.Këtë muaj morën pjesë më shumë banorë se zakonisht.Organizatorët thonë se qëllimi kryesor është të krijohet një zakon i përbashkët.Dorëzat dhe qeset sigurohen nga organizata.Pjesëmarrësit duhet të sjellin vetëm ujë dhe këpucë të përshtatshme.
