Clean Up Yorkey's Knob beach
A little litter is a big problem!
Are you part of a local club, community organisation or school? Do you care for your local creeks, parks and public spaces? This is your chance to step up and make a difference!
Come lend a hand and join Tangaroa Blue to remove litter from Yorkey's Knob beach before it washes to the reef.
Whether it’s a shopping bag, soft drink can, chip packet or cigarette butt - a little litter can be a big problem.
