Clean up a community effort

Over 50 locals including the Lane Cove Girl Guides joined forces to clean up our local bushland and streets on Sunday 25 February, 2024. Filling 20 large bags with rubbish including 94 alloys cans, 61 spray cans, 87 plastic bottles, 78 take away coffee cups, 71 plastic containers, fertiliser sprayer, metal furniture rails, a collection of “P” and “L” plates and even a child’s paddle pool.

Great to see the reduction in plastic bags and cans over the years. The Container Deposit Scheme and zero plastic bags in shops is certainly helping.

Thank you to In the Cove for the promotional support, Hummerston’s Gourmet Meats for the great sausages and Lane Cove Council for covering the BBQ costs and for the extra bags and gloves.
