Take a bag for a 10-minute litter sweep

Head to a local park, trail, or beach and clear what you find.

15-30 minutes

Why This Matters

Wind and rain move litter from parks and beaches into bushland and waterways, where birds and animals mistake it for food.

Pick your patch

Where’s your go-to spot for fresh air? Next time you’re there, take a bag, set a timer, and spend ten minutes collecting whatever litter you pass. You’ll walk out leaving it more beautiful than you found it.

Skip anything sharp, and leave items you’d rather not touch. At the water’s edge, stay on dry ground and let litter out of reach go.

How to do this

  1. Pack a bag, gloves if you prefer, and head over.
  2. Set a ten-minute timer and start collecting. Take a moment to enjoy being outdoors while you do.
  3. Fence lines, water’s edge, picnic spots catch the most.
  4. Timer done? Bin the bag, wash your hands. Done.
