Golden Bay residents prepare for Tidy Up Day

Vanessa SchmittWeekend Kwinana Courier

Locals are encouraged to clean up their own streets or join the teams of volunteers tidying up public open spaces, roadsides and verges around the bay area.

Supported by Keep Australia Beautiful, Golden Bay Estate and Bunnings Port Kennedy, this community initiative was generated via the Golden Bay Community Chat Facebook page.

Tidy Up organiser Ben Day said the event was not only about cleaning up Golden Bay, but getting people to know each other and the people who live around them.

“Tidy Up Day volunteers will also need to bring their own sunscreen, water and hats and wear long trousers and closed-in shoes.

“Gloves, rubbish bags and litter picking-up devices will all be supplied on the day.”

There will be a free sausage sizzle back at Sunset Hill Park at the end of the clean-up.
