Keep New Zealand Beautiful has announced the return of its annual Clean Up Week, Aotearoa’s largest movement against litter, scheduled for September 17th-23rd. Last year over 30,000 volunteers took part in the event, collecting approximately 300 tonnes of litter over the course of the week. KNZB Deputy Chairperson and Zone 5 Representative Mandy Mayhem-Bullock joined to fill us in on the details and importance of the event.
