We love helping community groups who want to get involved in looking after our environment.
Community litter clean ups
We love to support groups that organise their own community litter clean-up events. We can support your event by providing bags and gloves as well as free disposal for the collected waste at your nearest transfer station.
We require at least two weeks’ notice for event preparation, as there are health and safety requirements that need to be followed and you will also need permission from our parks team to run any clean-up events on Council land. All waste collected on the day needs to be removed from the site and shouldn’t be left next to public litter bins.
Please complete the community group clean-up registration form below to tell us about your event.
If you require additional information, please contact the sustainability and waste team on sustainability.waste@tauranga.govt.nz or on 07 577 7000.
