Welcome to the 15th annual South Coast Cleanup, 10:30AM-12:00PM 14th September 2024.As well as caring for our coasts and oceans, it’s all about community! Join us at any of our cleanup locations for a morning of litter collection and family fun.
WHEN
We kick off at 10:30am on the 14th September. We host clean up sites at 12 locations between Owhiro Bay to Breaker Bay on the Wellington South Coast. All rubbish will be gathered up around 12.15pm and taken to Lyall Bay by the playground to form one huge rubbish mountain that will be collected by the council.
Pitch in for a rubbish pile up at 12:30 at Lyall Bay playground where we will mound up our rubbish and admire our collective efforts!
Then we will head to Parrotdog for a drink / kai after!
