Cigarette butts, single use plastic bags, cans and bottles formed the bulk of the rubbish collected last week by G J Gardener staff in Orewa.

The team sent out staff to collect rubbish every day last week, as part of the company’s sponsorship of Keep NZ Beautiful’s Clean Up Week.

Other local companies were also invited to join in.

Clean Up Week is a national initiative aimed at educating communities about the impact of throwing away rubbish.

Last year, over the whole country, 67 tonnes of rubbish was collected.
