Join Mahurangi Wastebusters Coastal Cleanup!

Friday, October 24th – Monday, October 27th

Mahurangi Wastebusters invites YOU to take part in our community-wide beach clean-up event!

Let’s join forces to protect our beautiful coastlines and marine life from plastic pollution and rubbish, and celebrate 50 years of Goat Island Marine Reserve.

How to get involved:

Choose your beach: pick a local beach you love, or somewhere remote between Pakiri and Mahurangi Regional Park — anywhere along the coast or outer islands.

Register with us: if you can, let us know ahead of time where you’ll be collecting so we can track our collective impact via Facebook.

Email [email protected] or text Alexandra and Angela on 021 353 666 (heading Coastal clean up).

If you’d like to borrow litter pickers and gloves, let us know when you register.

Collect rubbish! Head out anytime between Friday 24th and Monday 27th, grab a bag, and start picking up litter from the sand, rocks, and dunes.

Document your efforts: snap a photo of you (or your group), while you are collecting, and with the collected rubbish. Weigh it and count the items if you can! Send your photos, location of collection and data to us at Mahurangi Wastebusters Facebook page, email [email protected] or text Alexandra and Angela on 021353666 (heading Coastal clean up)

Why does it mater?

Plastic and litter on our beaches harm wildlife, pollute our oceans, and spoil the beauty of our coast. Every piece you remove makes a difference.

By taking part, you’re contributing to a cleaner, healthier Mahurangi Coastal community and sharing our efforts helps inspire others to do the same.

Let’s celebrate your impact!

We’ll be sharing highlights, photos, and cleanup stats on our social media after the event.

All documented entries will go into the draw for prizes from local business.

Spread the word, gather your friends, whānau, or co-workers, boatie friends.

The more hands, the bigger the impact!
