The Binningup Coastcare and Environment Group, in partnership with the Shire of Harvey, held a Tangaroa Blue Beach clean-up on Sunday, 17 October. More than 50 people, including children, came along and lent a helping hand.
Some of the collected items included:
- Approx. 1000 pieces of hard plastic.
- Approx. 1000 pieces of soft plastic.
- Fishing gear including rods, floats, crates, fishing line, hooks, sinkers and netting.
- More than 200 plastic bottles including fuel and solvents.
- More than 200 aluminium cans.
- More than 100 shoes, including thongs.
- Batteries, car parts and fuel drums.
- 4 x shotgun cartridges, aerosol cans, golf balls.
- A lot of plastic cups, nappies and sanitary towels.
A big thank you to Binningup Coastcare and Environment Group and the wonderful volunteers who participated and made a difference. Every collected piece of litter is one less piece in the ocean.
