YOU SIGN UP ON YOUR OWN ACCORD AND GO ABOUT THE BEACH CLEAN FOLLOWING GENERAL COMMON SENSE AND THE ADVISED SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS...
HOW LONG?
We'll clean-up for up to 1.5 hours, dependent on the weather conditions or other factors on the day.
If you're unable to do the full time, that is not an issue, leave the rubbish and equipment where instructed on the day during the briefing.

We have protective gloves, reusable bags, bag hoops and litter pickers.
All you need to bring is yourself and anything else you'll need throughout the beach clean (i.e., drink/snack, hand sanitiser, etc).
WHAT TO WEAR?
It's important to wear protective gloves but also to wash your hands after the beach clean!
Wear appropriate footwear (there could be broken glass).
Check the weather before you go (you may need a coat or woolly hat).
WHERE TO PUT THE RUBBISH?
This will be decided on the day...
