CLEANING up litter in Kingston parks and beaches will be a joint effort on Clean Up Australia Day on Sunday 5 March.
Kingston mayor Cr David Eden is urging people to pitch in for the sake of the community.
“We encourage everyone to do their bit on Clean Up Australia Day and join in the fun while meeting people in the community,” Cr Eden said.
“The more people who come along, the quicker and easier it will be to clean up litter and make our city shine.
“While most people do the right thing, unfortunately we still see far too much rubbish thoughtlessly dumped at our local parks and beaches. Together we can help clean up the mess and see Kingston looking its best.”
Volunteers should wear sunscreen, a hat and sturdy shoes, and to bring plenty of water.

- Bonbeach to Edithvale foreshore, 10am-1pm, meet Station St near corner Mascot Ave
