We’ve been tackling litter since 1967 and it’s still a big part of what we do today. Our clean up events and programmes are a great way to get out and about in your local community and make a difference. Clean Up Week Each year we hold our annual Clean Up Week – a week-long event which takes place every spring. In 2022, we had over 67,400 volunteers register to take part in 466 clean up events across Aotearoa. Volunteers collected a total of 655 tonnes of waste over an area equivalent to 5,751 rugby fields! This is a great opportunity to get your friends, family, school, business or local community group together to participate in New Zealand’s largest clean up event.

Corporate and community clean ups are great fun. They’re a fantastic team building event, a great way to bring people together, all while making a difference and Keeping New Zealand Beautiful. We offer facilitated clean ups and corporate team building events, as well as citizen science programmes that provide Kiwis the opportunity to actively contribute to Aotearoa’s litter solution whilst gaining experience in data collection and analysis.
