Warneet Association held its annual Clean Up Australia event at Warneet Foreshore on Sunday 2 March.
Despite that the event officially began in the afternoon, locals, from children to senior citizens, could not wait and started grinding from the morning.
President Chris Groves said locals cleaned up a large area, from the foreshore to the main street of the town.
“We had people in the mangroves. People were pulling stuff out of the mangroves and out of the bush,” he said.
About 20 bags of rubbish were collected, and Chris noted that the main road and the boat ramp were where the most rubbish came from.
The association skipped the event last year for personal reasons, and the locals were happy about the return this year.
