2014 is the 10th Anniversary of the West Australian Beach Clean Up and you’re invited to join in this year’s fun! Taking place over the weekend of October 11th & 12th, volunteers can register a beach or riverway anywhere in Western Australia for a clean-up event.
Last year more than 1500 volunteers cleaned 310km of coastline and removed over 5.3 tonnes of debris – let’s see if we can beat it this year!
All clean-up materials will be provided, all you need to do is bring along some friends and make a day of it!
Volunteers can also join existing groups – see the list below and contact Renee Mouritz on renee@tangaroablue.org or call her on 0437-511620 for more information.
A huge thanks goes to Coastwest, Keep Australia Beautiful Council WA, Department of Fisheries, Department of Parks and Wildlife, all the Local Government Agencies, supporters and volunteers for their support!
