May Community Clean Up

Join us for our monthly community street clean in Wellington! Let’s unite to kick trash to the curb and beautify our streets.

We’ll spend roughly an hour on the streets and waterfront with our litter pickers making our community a waste-free zone.

You’re welcome to join us for as little or as long as you like, just remember to wear comfy clothes and shoes, bring a hat and plenty of water. We will have plenty of sunscreen and sanitiser available and will provide everyone with litter pickers and buckets.

See you there!
