| Partial Audit | 982 | Elwood Junction, JGS🐧 | Although a few regulars were unable to join us today, nine volunteers contributed to our Clean Up Australia event around Elwood Junction, near St Columba's church. Our collection weighed in at 12 kg, representing hundreds and hundreds of lightweight plastic items and other litter. Our stats for today: 54 drink bottles and cans, 32 plastic bottle tops, 29 single-use coffee and lids, 20 other cups, 34 sauce sachets and fish, 9 lollipop sticks and 803 cigarette butts. Happily, we continue to find few plastic straws - the ban is working. Notable items included a battery, a baby doll and a discarded canvas painting. Eligible containers have been returned with funds going to BeachPatrol Australia; rubbish is now safely binned. We are glad to protect our environment and creatures in this simple way. 🙂💙🐬🐟🦆🐧💚 | ||||
