River Clean-up event
Town of Bassendean 7 Jan 2020

Published: Tuesday, 7 January 2020 at 1:42:53 PM

SUP Tonic Australia hosted a litter cleanup in December to clean the banks of the Swan River.

This was one of many cleanups the group conducts throughout the year.

People on stand up paddle boards left from Sandy Beach Reserve, cleaning up the hard-to-reach spots along the foreshore between Bassendean and Maylands.

In just two hours, the group collected more than a cubic meter of waste.

Material collected included plastics, metal, glass and polystyrene with enough shoes found to make a category of their own!

The Town of Bassendean is working towards reducing littering and illegal dumping.

If you are interested in being involved in events like this, please contact the Town’s Recycling & Waste team on 9377 8000.

 

NB: Please note data reflects litter items collected in the Town of Bassendean only.
