If you want to help keep Wyndham clean and the environment in good shape, then it might be worth considering getting involved in Clean Up Australia Day.
At least four local groups will run clean ups on Sunday 1 March to remove litter from the municipality and raise awareness about the environment.
Love Our Streets 3024 based at Manor Lakes and Wyndham Vale, Love Our Streets 3029 in Hoppers Crossing, Love Our Streets 3030 in Point Cook and Beach Patrol 3030 in Werribee South will be participating.
Beach Patrol 3030 member Colin Styles said it is great to volunteer and make a difference.
“I think generally why we do it, is to just to make our area look a little more presentable and to try and encourage people to have pride in our city,” he said.
“You get a sense of empowerment because you are doing something, but there is still that massive sense of frustration because of the amount of rubbish you see.
“I think it is also a fellowship involved, you have a bit of fun with each other.”
While the groups operate all year around, Mr Styles said Clean Up Australia Day is a great way to get people interested as it is a well known event.
“It also gets the children involved as they see where the litter ends up.
“Each of the groups has their own Facebook page and can be contacted through messenger– all the coordinators will get back to you pretty quickly.”
