We're doing it again!In September each year, we hold a Beach Clean-Up event where local businesses and the community join in on our efforts to clean up Tāhunanui Beach, the inlet, the Back Beach and the surroundings as part of New Zealand’s most significant movement against litter during Clean Up Week (https://www.knzb.org.nz/programmes/clean-new-zealand-beautiful/clean-up-week/).
Building on the success of last year’s event — where over 200 amazing volunteers helped collect around 500 kg of rubbish from Tāhunanui Beach and surrounds — we’re once again inviting the local community and businesses to join us for another big clean-up. But this time, we're aiming for 1000 kgs! This event is part of Clean Up Week 2026, New Zealand’s largest annual movement against litter, and this year it falls on World Clean Up Day, which is also on the 19th of Sept!
Together, we’ll be cleaning up:
- Tāhunanui Beach
- The inlet
- The Back Beach
- Surrounding areas
After the clean-up, stick around for a thank-you BBQ and the chance to win spot prizes as a token of our appreciation.
What to Bring & Wear:
- Sturdy shoes
- Long-sleeve shirts and trousers
- Sun hat
- Drinking water
We also encourage you to bring:
- Reusable/gardening gloves
- Jute/firewood/reusable bags or buckets for collecting rubbish
We’ll provide gloves and bags if needed, along with litter pick-up tools, sunblock, and bug spray.
