Log in to see the plans as drawnA number of groups collate their findings and
report on the volume of rubbish retrieved in
and around Noosa’s waterways each year:
• NICA’s River Ranger volunteers fill a
1000L skip bin every two months with
discarded items and litter from the
lower Noosa River estuary.
• Surfrider Foundation volunteers
annually collect 5 tonnes of rubbish
along the Noosa North Shore to
Double Island Point.
• Clean Up Australia Day volunteers
recovered 8.2 tonnes of discarded
items and 300 bags of litter from
across the Shire in 2017.

An important outcome of river and beach clean-ups is the data gathered about rubbish collected at a
given location. This data input to the Australian Marine Debris Database helps inform strategies for the
long-term prevention of marine debris, including tackling the source of the rubbish.
