Clean Up Australia supporters will be provided with:

• Gloves kindly donated by Clean Up Australia.
• Buckets that have been donated by the lovely owner of Patio@putney, 83 Charles St Putney.
• Pick up tools sponsored by the Environmental Levy Grant Program and Net Zero Communities, Ku-ring-gai Council.
• Activity guidelines.

Please bring:

• Sturdy enclosed footwear.
• Drinking water in reusable bottle – please ensure you keep yourself hydrated.
• Sun protection (long sleeved shirt, hat, reef friendly sunscreen, sunglasses).

You will receive a reusable bag made by the amazing volunteers at Boomerang Bags (while stock lasts). Thank you so much to our sponsors! We really appreciate it!

Please come on time for the briefing at 9. We will clean the area as thoroughly as possible for about 1 hour. Come back to the meeting point to empty your buckets in one of the bags and go back to pick up some more. When the time is up we will weigh the collected litter. Then we will empty the bags on a giant tarpaulin that was donated to the association by one of the resident and we will sort and count the rubbish by category so that we can contribute to litter research. Data will be sent to Clean Up Australia.

We completely understand if you cannot stay for the whole event. We are just grateful for any help we can get.
