Litter Collection

  • Edwardes Lake Griffiths Street Reservoir, VIC, 3073 Australia (map)

The waterway needs your help!

We have been focused on planting for the last few months to create habitat for our wildlife and we must now turn out focus back to litter collection.

Before the litter has a chance to enter the waterway and hurts our wildlife lets roll up our sleeves and get rid of it.

Sunday 15th October @ 9.00am

We will be meeting at the notice board between the bridge and playground Griffiths St, Reservoir.

We first be collecting the litter then conducting litter sort so we can upload the data into LitterWatch portal.

If you do wish to participate in the litter collection, please sure that you;

1. Wear suitable sturdy, closed toed shoes, long sleeves and long pants

2. Are sun smart with a hat, protective clothing and sunscreen

3. Register your details via the QR code when you arrive (name, email address and phone number etc.) for insurance purposes, before picking up litter

4. Do not enter the water. The water can hold hidden dangers. Instead take a photo of any litter in the water and let one of the FoEL team know.

5. Do not enter tall grass. Tall grass can hold hidden dangers such as holes and snakes. You may also risk stepping, crushing and possibly killing smaller reptiles and amphibians who may call the tall grass home

6. Remember to take before and after photos of the areas you clean

We will be collecting litter for about 1.5 hour then finishing by the litter sorting.

There is no expectation to stay for any length of time, every bit helps!

All are welcome to join. We look forward to seeing you
