Wāhi Tukurua is calling on the Mercury Bay community to get behind World Clean-up Day 2025 with the goal of collecting over 2,000kg of rubbish in just three hours. This global movement spans 190 countries, and here in Mercury Bay it’s our chance to protect the beaches, waterways, and reserves we love.
Bring gloves, buckets or reusable bags, a water bottle – and your friends and family! After a short briefing, volunteers will head out to assigned areas before returning to sort and weigh the collected rubbish.
Event Details:
Saturday 20 September
Buffalo Beach Reserve
9:30am – 11:30am
In 2023 and 2024, locals removed more than 1,780kg of waste – from plastics and food wrappers to tyres and fishing gear – but the problem continues. This year’s event is extra special as it’s the first since the opening of the new Wāhi Tukurua Resource Recovery Centre.
If you’d like to organise a clean-up in your own area, contact event coordinator Tiffany Reed (020 4092 8007 or [email protected]).
