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.
