Help keep Horowhenua beautiful during NZ's largest litter clean-up

Horowhenua residents are encouraged to adopt the ‘Be A Tidy Kiwi’ philosophy and pick-up litter during national Clean-Up Week startingon Monday 12 September.

Via the Keep New Zealand Beautiful website www.knzb.org.nz/cleanupweek, people can join an already-registered local event. Otherwise, create one with a group of family, friends, or work colleagues; or a group from a school or other organisation.

Simply ‘adopt a spot’ such as a street or other stretch of roadside; a playground, park or other reserve; an area at a stream, river, lake or beach; an area in a town centre or any other public space, and clear it of any litter. The more people who take part next week, the more effective this year’s clean-up will be.

Rubbish and recycling bags, gloves, health and safety guidelines will be provided.

On Saturday 17 September Keep Levin Beautiful members will be at the Levin Adventure Park car-park from 9.00am to 3.00pm to collect the filled KNZB-branded bags - black for rubbish and clear for recyclables. Green waste will not be accepted.

For more info, or to find your nearest clean-up event and register, visit www.knzb.org.nz/cleanupweek. Otherwise, phone Keep Levin Beautiful chairperson Victoria Kaye-Simmons on 027 601 1014.
