Here's how it works:
📍 Choose a beach, river, stream or waterway that means something to you.
🧤 Collect your bags and gloves from Hirepool New Plymouth OR from our home base at the East End Surf Club.
♻️ Spend a couple of hours giving your patch a proper tidy-up.

Whether you're flying solo, bringing the kids, getting the work crew together or rounding up a few mates, everyone's welcome.
As proud partners of Sustainable Coastlines, we're excited to help bring the community together for another Big Clean. Every bag of rubbish collected helps protect the places we all love spending time in.
