Dee Why Lagoon Clean Up

Are you ready for the BIGGEST clean up of the year?

This clean up will be tougher than our regular Clean Ups, and may not be suitable for small children or those with mobility issues.

They still want to you to come, no matter what: They still need your help with carrying, sorting and counting.

What to expect for this clean up: 

• You’ll most likely get muddy
• You’ll most likely get wet
• You’ll walk a bush trail inside the lagoon
• You’ll see plenty of plastic bottles

Gumboots are strongly recommended. They got a limited amount of gumboots to lend people, but for a perfect fit, they recommend that you bring your own.

As this is a problematic area, the clean up will be longer than usual.

The plastic has been here for many years and you can even hear the sound of it crackling under your feet, when walking around the area. Since, Dee Why Lagoon is a sensitive and important breeding area for birds, we’ll take turns (about 10-12 people at the time), walking in and out of the area. You can literally fill up one big of plastic bottles, just standing in one spot.

They would love your help with:

• Getting in the reeds and getting muddy
• Carrying bags back to the tarp “bag runners”
• Sorting the rubbish on the tarps (we will have tarps for plastic bottles, glass bottles, etc)

There’s plenty of parking on Pittwater Road. Look out for our trailer and the flags with our logo on.
