Binningup Beach Clean-Up

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.
