Around 260 volunteers took to the streets to Clean Up Noosa on Sunday March 3rd across 14 local sites organised once again by the Noosa Integrated Catchment Association (NICA). Volunteer co-ordinator Joe Jurisevic said it was pleasing to see volunteer numbers of the increase from last year after a significant decrease from pre Covid levels, and reports of less litter and illegal dumping this year.
225 volunteers across the 18 sites collected around 360kg (200kgs of recyclables) of litter and around 3.6 Tonnes of larger items on Clean Up Australia Day from our local environment. Around 4 tonnes in total this year.
