Keep New Zealand Beautiful

Community Clean Up - All are Welcome!
2023-09-17 11:00 - 15:00 (Pacific/Auckland) | Pauatahanui, 467 Paremata Road, Porirua, 5381
We have found over the past few years that it is best to keep our event as flexible as possible so it suits as many volunteers as possible. We will set up a self-help table at our front door for our volunteers to rock up any time they can over the week from September 17th.
Just register as a volunteer (or message us name and email details and we can do this for you) as this is part of the Keep New Zealand Beautiful process AND shows we had a whole lot of helpers! 🙂
Please bring your own sturdy gloves, buckets, tongs – but we will have a few disposable rubber gloves, Council rubbish bags (for trash), feed sacks (for recycling), high vis vests (1-2 per group if needed – please return).
Head out anywhere you choose – just be extra safe and avoid any roadways >50km.
Just leave the bags collected inside our gate and we will have them taken away – try to separate any quality recycling into the bins provided.
Family friendly suggestion:
Bothamley Parkway – https://www.walkingwithkidsnz.com/post/bothamley-park-walkway-to-ascot-park-aotea
We hope to have your help for Keep New Zealand Beautiful Clean up week so we can finish up with a whole pile of trash that will go to the right place rather than littering our community!

Come and join us in restoring some pride into this patch with a couple of hours of cleaning up! Many hands make light work, so Nau Mai, Haere Mai!

We will have old sacks and some tubs to fill with rubbish. We encourage you to bring a pair of gardening gloves if you own them. All rubbish collected will be audited and reported back to Keep Dunedin Beautiful.

P.S. if you work or live in the area, please spread the word that littering is no longer acceptable here (yep, this includes your ciggie butts).
