Volunteers meet once a month to clean public spaces: a beach, street or park
BeachPatrol is a litter collection volunteer group spread over many postcodes. Within each postcode there is a group of locals who pick up litter from their beaches or streets or parks once a month. The litter is mostly plastic items. We want to stop them getting into the ocean and prevent harm to wildlife. Collection data is saved on this site. The data collection and distribution is a key part of what BeachPatrol performs. We use this data to advocate for changes that will reduce litter: raising awareness of littered beaches and streets and working with local and state government to address this issue.
What does it mean if I join?
When you join a group you will receive an email about 1 week in advance of the next clean for that group. If you are free you can come along for the one hour to join others. There is no commitment to attend every clean: you're welcome whenever you can join in.

| 08 Oct 2022 09:10:00 | Spring Clean the City | Queens Bridge Square South Bank | The annual Spring Clean the City wil lbe held on this day starting at 9 am. Volunteers will be assigned streets within the CBD to collect littered drinkware and bring it back to the event site. The piles of bottle, cans, cups and straws will be laid out on display for all to see. The actual cleaning time will last two hours, followed by items sort time and photos. Many of you have participated in previous SCTC events. This year will be especially important as it is the last year before a container deposit scheme starts in Victoria, which will lead to a substantial reduction in littered drink containers. SCTC results will be able to document this. |
