​Clean Ups currently on hold due to latest Covid19 restrictions

We are sad to announce that our clean ups are temporarily cancelled due to the latest Covid 19 restrictions. We will be back for  clean ups the last Sunday of every month as soon as we're allowed. We love all crew members and each and everyone of you bring so much kindness and hope for this planet but for the safety for all of you and the state the world is in right now with the Covid-19 virus we have made the heartfelt decision to cancel our future events, until advised we can have them back on again. The ocean and local environment still needs us, so if you're feeling well and you're out walking picking up rubbish, please feel free to send us your pics and we'll share it on our social media. The good deed for the planet will never stop. ❤

Collaroy Clean Up, May, 2021

Thank you to everyone who came to the May Clean Up in Collaroy. This was a collaboration with many other organisations, so it was a bit different. In June we are back to our "normal chaos" again. 

Balmoral Clean Up, April, 2021

​We did this one off event in Balmoral on the other side of the Spit Bridge to help spread awareness about single use plastic and its impact on the beaches and local environment.  These amazing people picked up 1343 pieces of litter (mainly food wraps, cigarette butts and balloons) plus thousands and thousands of tiny pieces of glitter. What a bunch of legends. We met so many nice people today and we loved meeting each and everyone of you. We would say the most unusual item today was a door mat - how did that end up on the beach? A huge thank you to each and everyone of you - you, me, everyone, we are all "The Crew".

Narrabeen Clean Up, March 2021

The Narrabeen lagoon crew picked up over 2000 items from the lagoon, including a lobster cage, a vacuum cleaner pipe, a bunch of plastic flowers, two sandwich board signs, ones petrol leaf blower, one battery charger, three chairs, one kayak paddle, one tennis racket, two bricks and lots of plastic bottles, glass bottles, food wraps, straws, plastic cutlery, Styrofoam and cigarettes. Thank you to everyone who came and gave up their Sunday morning to make this world a little nicer place to live in for all beings. We're forever grateful to all of you. We're all "The Crew". ​

Newport Clean Up, February 2021

3523 items picked up at Newport beach today by these amazing crew members. What a great community we have. Some of the more unusual items were a big piece of a sofa, 24 metres of irrigation hose, a kid's scooter, a handbrake from a bicycle, a roadwork sign, a roof tile and of course we had plenty of the usual suspects: straws, single use coffee cups, beer bottles, plastic bottles, cigarette butts and food wraps. Do a good deed for the planet and make new friends at the same time ​

Dee Why Clean Up, November 2020

We just want to say a huge thank you to all brave, caring legends who came to clean up Dee Why Lagoon today on this very hot and windy day. We are so grateful for each and everyone of you and we love getting to know more and more. We didn't do a count today because of the heat and the wind but hopefully we'll be back to normal at our next event. Some of our more unusual items today were several wooden crates, a very old rusty shopping trolley with no wheels, a few carpets and of course the usual suspects cigarette butts, bottle tops and food wrappers. Looking forward to seeing you then. Until then, take care and if anything, just send us a message.

All clean ups - CANCELLED until Covid-19 restrictions ease. See you in 2021!

Curl Curl Clean Up, February 2020

We just want to say a massive THANK YOU to everyone who came along and helped make Curl Curl a bit cleaner today. More than 13,233 pieces of rubbish were picked up, sorted and counted. Love all the kind people coming together doing a good deed for the planet and making new friends at the same time. The oldest item we found today was a margarine tub with best before date January 1988. Plastic never go away, it just breaks to smaller and smaller pieces. Let's make this planet a better place by buying reducing our single-use-plastic footprint and inspire our friends to do the same. Our clean ups are always the last Sunday of every month at 10 am.

Narrabeen Clean Up, January, 2020

​We would like to say a massive thank you to all the lovely crew members who came along this hot day to help clean up Narrabeen lagoon. Over eighty people chipped in (not everyone is in this pic) to help make our planet a better and cleaner place. What looks clean, you'll soon discover is not particular clean and honestly don't we all prefer to swim, paddleboard and dive in clean waters? Some of the more odd items found today were a saucepan, a piece of a printer and a holder for a cigarette lighter. Sadly, we found (as we always do) some plastic items with chew marks on them.
By not disposing of our rubbish properly we are killing our precious wildlife, both on land and at sea. To help keeping our planet clean reduce your single-use plastic footprint and be a hero like people in this picture and pick up some rubbish even if it's not yours. Thank you again to all legends who came and helped out today. Hope to see you on one of our clean ups in the future again. Our clean ups are always the last Sunday of every month at 10am. We will post about our February clean up within a few days.

Dee Why Beach Clean Up, November, 2019

We would like to thank all lovely crew members who came and helped clean up Dee Why beach yesterday. Over one hundred people turned up to give away some of their time on Sunday morning to make this planet and particularly our local area a better and more beautiful place to live. The crew is ALL OF US and we are so honoured and happy to getting to know more and more of you amazing people. Who would have thought that cleaning a beach could be so wonderful? Some of our interesting finds were a broken scooter, broken chairs, extremely old milk that made some of us gag (and laugh), a bicycle, real estate signs and the usual suspects; food wraps, cigarette butts, drink bottles, straws, cans and sadly a dead bird entangled in a balloon string. We'll be down at Manly beach front (South Steyne) next Sunday (1st of Dec between 10am - 4pm) as part of Manly Ocean Festival with an information stall (no clean up). We'd love to see you there. More than 30 environmental organisations will have stalls set up at this free event.

Bilgola Beach Clean up. Over 50 crew cleaned up over 1642 items from the beach and the bush. What looked like a pristine beach shocked many when we so the final results after 60 minutes of picking up litter.

Mona Vale Beach Clean Up, August 2019

The biggest haul today were the cigarette butts. The Crew picked up 2134 cigarette butts today on Mona Vale Beach. One cigarette in water for about 96 hours leaches out enough toxins to kill half of the fish exposed to them. And just one butt can poison 40 liters of water. How many fish did The Crew help today? ​

Little Manly Clean Up, March 2019

It was a very cold and windy day when the crew met at Little Manly Beach in March. We had a great crew of lovely people of different ages and nationalities who chipping in for a good cause. It was so windy that we couldn't count the rubbish on the day but we found "the usual suspects"  - cigarette butts, water bottles, food wraps, plastic bags, straws and much more. The lovely restaurant "The Hold" wanted to help out spreading kindness around and shouted everyone who participated in the clean up a free lunch. How amazing are they! Kindness surely makes the world go around.
