Come and join us for our September clean up at Tania Park, Balgowlah Heights. We'll meet in the grass area on the field at Tania Park (close to the Arabanoo lookout)- see map below. Address is Dobroyd Scenic Drive, Balgowlah Heights. We have gloves, bags and buckets. We'll clean up this area to try and catch all the litter before it flies over the cliffs and in to the ocean. Some of us can focus on the lookout area, grass areas and others can walk along the bushes. We will clean up until around 11.30 and after that we will start to pack up. We appreciate any help we can get, no matter how small or big. No booking required - just show up on the day. We're a friendly group of people and everyone is welcome to this family friendly event. It's a nice community - make some new friends and do a good deed for the planet at the same time. For everyone to feel welcome, please leave political and religious messages at home. There is a carpark, but it can be busy on Sundays, so check streets close by as well if it's full. Message us here or on our social media if you are lost. All welcome - the more the merrier. Please invite your friends too.

Thank you to all volunteers who came and made Palm Beach much cleaner in August. We're so grateful for each and everyone of you. Super grateful for Roly from "Emu Parade", and for the lovely volunteers at the North Palm Beach (Summer Bay) surf lifesaving club's kiosk, who so kindly donated food to the volunteers , and they are also volunteers running that kiosk. We're super grateful, and doesn't it feel good to have left the world a little bit cleaner than what it was before?

What a beautiful day we had at Queenscliff Lagoon and Queenscliff Beach A huge thank you to each and everyone who's part of the crew. You, me, and everyone are the people that make this crew to what it is = inclusiveness, kindness, fun, friends that come together to make our local area cleaner for all beings. We found some strange items like a huge dangerous-looking knife, astroturf, a chips bag best before 2010, an unusual looking shoe, and fake hair.

We're really looking forward to getting to know each and everyone more and we're hoping to see you again next month. Our clean ups are always the last Sunday of every month at 10am (no booking required, just turn up with a smile)

Unfortunately, were not able to host a clean up in March, but we loved our April crew at Whale Beach. Whale beach was a fairly clean beach, but we found a very old wheelbarrow and a chair, plus of course the usual suspects like food wrappers, cigarette butts, old toys and clothes. We are so happy that we have the lovely Roly onboard - he serves beautiful coffee, tea and hot chocolate to all our volunteers - all for free.

Bilgola was our February clean up for 2024. We would love to thank all our wonderful volunteers that came from both our local area as well from places like Parramatta and other areas. We are extremely grateful for each and everyone of you. We would also like to thank the wonderful Roly from Emu Parade Clean Up that treated all volunteers with free coffee. We loved having you onboard Roly, and thank you for everything you do.

Some of the unusual items for this clean up was legs and wheels from a TV stand, an old milk glass bottle, a worm farm, and a street sign. We also found lots of abandoned signs from the Bilgola bend.

We would like to thank everyone who helped at Newport Beach Clean Up we are grateful for each and every one of you. As a big Crew getting together like this, we can truly see the changes we are making. As we say: No one likes a dirty beach, and by cleaning it, we prevent lots of animals from getting entangled, injured and even killed.

Thank you, legends.

Thank you to everyone who came to the Turimetta Beach Clean Up and an extra thank you to our long-term volunteer who turned 7 today and decided to clean up the beach on his birthday. One of the odd items that we found was a bag of chips that had a best-before date of 28th of April 2012. It just really shows how long rubbish is around for. Sad.

Thank you to everyone who came to the Dee Why Lagoon Clean-Up. You, me and everyone are all the clean-up crew.

A huge thank you to all crew that came and cleaned up Palm Beach on this hot day today. We are forever grateful to each and everyone - you are truly legends. We found some big items, such as tyres, a part of a grill and a chair. And sadly as always, we find cigarette butts, bottles, cans and endless amount of plastic.

We had our last clean-up of the year - at south Curl Curl. This was a beach that initially looked very clean, but whatever is in the bushes will soon end up on the beach. Maybe not some of the bigger items though. Some of the more unusual finds on this clean up were: four chairs, a chair made from a car seat, a rusty car part, a full Woolworths basket of old rusty car cleaning and maintenance products - and of course lots of food wraps, bottles, cans and remnants of plastic bags.

A huge thank you to all crew members that came and helped clean up south Curl Curl. Thank you to everyone for all your hard work in 2022 - for helping sharing our posts, talking rubbish with your friends, cleaning up, helping us set up, counting, sorting, sitting hours in front of the computer doing admin, taking photos, being a friendly face and for being one of our new friends in 2022. We're looking forward to making more friends in 2023. Do a good deed for the planet and make some new friends at the same time.

We would like to say a huge thank you to all the wonderful people who came to the Clontarf Clean Up. We suspected lots of microplastics and we found plenty of it.

We found a piece of a sofa, plastic bottles, balcony lights, no parking signs (three of them), cans, cigarette butts and lots of plastic. We love our clean-up community - all these people are truly inspirational giving up their Sunday mornings to help out our planet

Thank you to all the fantastic crew members who came and helped our beautiful area cleaner and by so, saving the lives of many animals. Our youngest crew member was sleeping in his baby carrier throughout the event Great work by his mum Inger. We love our clean-up community - all these people are truly inspirational giving up their Sunday mornings to help out our planet.

We found a message in a bottle too - we've called them and sent a message but haven't received any reply. Thousands of bottles, plastic, toys, cigarettes, a bike, old VCR tapes and much more were picked up from the lagoon.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along today to the Long Reef cleanup. We couldn't do this without you, so we're forever grateful to each and everyone who comes along to the clean-up events. The beach was pretty clean which is a good thing. Lots of confetti, cigarette butts and general plastic. We couldn't do a sort and count today due to the wind, but nature thanked us by having a stingray showing up close to the boat ramp, some pelicans, and if you walked up to the headland afterwards there were a few whales and dolphins too. Our next clean-up will be posted shortly and we expect that one to be a big one, so we need as many of you as possible to come and help out.

What a massive clean up this was. Some lovely new crew members came and chipped in today. We found tents, car parts, a wig, a heater, soccer goal posts, soccer goal nets, balls, old rusty pipes and of course the usual suspects: bottles, cans, plastic bags and food wraps.

What a lovely crew we had today coming to Mona Vale Beach. We thought we would get drenched looking at the clouds, but it all went well. We picked up over a thousand items and we found over 700 cigarette butts close to the building site. The best adventure today was to get a big piece of plastic down from a tree close to the beach.

What a great clean up today. Despite a huge surf carnival, floods, rain and a gastro outbreak - we did it. We are forever grateful for each and every one of you. Today, we didn't do a count due to the predicted weather conditions, but we found many balls, plastic bottles, towels, a greenhouse, dentures and a big mattress among many other things.
