Inner-City Clean Up Crews
For example:
You might find there’s litter in your street’s gutter that will stop the rain running freely and into the drain when it rains. Flooded pavements!
You might see cigarette ends and bits of plastic are collecting in your gutter that, when it rains, will go straight out to sea via your stormwater drain. Microplastics and toxins!
You might identify that a little patch of plants and bushes in your area loves to catch litter when the Wellington wind plays. Not a great look for your area or your local wildlife!
You might find a nearby laneway, or a bit of vacant land, that loves to be home to discarded cans and fast food packaging. Happy rats and mice!
We think some folks might like to do something about this, but perhaps don’t have the equipment to get started?
ICW can help!
We can provide a free Clean-Up Crew kit to get you underway - a litter pick-up stick, a pair of gloves, a bucket, AND a hi-viz vest! (and bragging rights!)
(We can provide more than one set if you have a larger group interested!)
So if your apartment building would like to create a Clean-up Crew, let us know!

We’ve had a thought.
We have over 125 apartment buildings in our inner-city.
If some residents in each apartment building became a ‘Clean-Up Crew’ for their street and immediate area, what an amazing difference that could make to our inner-city streets.
