BeachPatrol and Love Our Street community volunteer groups operate across 40+ postcodes in Victoria. Groups meet monthly to pick up plastic litter from local beaches, streets or parks and meet like-minded people who are passionate about preserving our environment, wildlife, marine life and ecosystems.
The groups log their data in the Litter Stopper app, which feeds into our litter collection database and the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action's LitterWatch database.
With this data, we advocate for changes that will reduce litter, raise awareness of littered beaches and streets and support local and state governments in tackling the issues.
