Clean Up Project - Our Backyard Trust

LET’S CLEAN UP OUR BACKYARD!

Want to get involved? Join us on the 16th or 17th May down at the OBT Coastal Clean Up Event based out of the Tauranga Sport Fishing Club – 66 Keith Allen Drive, Tauranga. This year, we’ve extended our clean up to include Friday the 16th, making it ideal for schools, businesses, and organisations to have a team outing or excursion to take part and make a real difference. Saturday the 17th is a great opportunity to bring the whole family along for a fun and rewarding day out supporting the clean up of our coastline, marina, and waterways!

Join us in a community conservation project to look after a valuable resource we’re all passionate about.

We are proud to bring back the Coastal Clean Up Project in 2025. This follows the huge success of previous Coastal Clean Up Projects, where local volunteers and businesses joined forces to remove over 11 TONNES OF RUBBISH from our coastline, marina, and waterways, including abandoned vehicles and harmful waste polluting the harbour.

With the goal of cleaning up our own backyard, the purpose of the project is to protect our waterways and marine life and to further encourage other people and businesses to support the initiative and the on-going protection of these valuable natural resources.

This year’s project will be funded by donations from key sponsors, local businesses and families. With the support of our proud local communities, we will continue to make the project an annual event to do our bit to provide a healthy and thriving marine environment for future generations to come.

We will be based down at Sulphur Point near the Tauranga Sport Fishing Club. The event is scheduled for the 16^th and the 17th of May and we are looking to build teams of volunteers and supporters for the project who will be part of dedicated Clean Up Squads that will work across the beaches, Harbour, Boat Ramps and Carparks across the general Tauranga area.

We hope that the 2025 Coastal Clean Up Project is bigger and better and we look forward to seeing you all there.
