Call to clean-up litter in Porirua

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

The Porirua Council is urging people to support Grant Monos. He has been a long-time member of council’s litter and maintenance team and he's constantly picking up rubbish out of the waterways.
As part of a litter monitoring programme, a cleanup two weeks ago by volunteers collected 1163 items of rubbish in just a few hours, 88 per cent of which was plastic.
Things like food wrappers, drink lids, pens, shoes and even part of a plastic Christmas tree were found, all having the potential for negative effects on birds and sea life. .
