Trolley team cleans up Botany Creek

I've been involved in many community clean ups, but never been on the Trolley Team before!

Pest Free Howick Ward organised a clean up of the Botany Creek over Matariki weekend. I couldn't believe there were so many trolleys dumped in this little stretch of water, but thanks to team work (led by the fearless Bruce Kendall) we managed to clear 20 trolleys, 1 bike, 2 chairs, a street light and a skip-load of rubbish from the stream. Meanwhile other groups were clearing the banks of litter - amazing combined effort to tidy up!

Thank you to everyone who was involved in both organising and doing the clean up!
