Three of Geelong’s Rotary clubs took part in a delayed Clean Up Australia Day activity.
Two of the clubs had commitments on the actual day set aside for Clean Up Australia campaign. They decided to join together and invite another club to take part on 19th March. The clubs involved were Rotary Bayside Geelong, Rotary Geelong East and Rotary Club of Corio Bay.
With fifteen people (including one non-Rotarian) working for one and a half hours, the clean up was conducted around the Limeburners Point at the bottom of the Eastern Park Gardens. Most of what was picked up was general rubbish, with small amounts of glass and other recyclables. Seven large bags of rubbish were collected and disposed of.
Members followed up with a coffee at Merci in the Eastern Gardens.
Rotary Geelong East conducts monthly clean ups, known as Walk Against Waste. The same process is followed and the area worked on changes regularly. Members, family and friends take part and follow up with a coffee together. Members of the general public are free to join us. If you wish to do so, please make inquiries through the Rotary Club of Geelong East Facebook page:
