Volunteer Clean-Up Support Application
Litter and illegal dumping are challenges across Aotearoa, and our beautiful Far North is no exception. That's why Council is proud to support your community clean-up efforts with free waste drop-off at one of our facilities.
To keep everyone safe while making a difference, we ask that you submit a Risk Assessment and Health & Safety Management Plan for approval before your event.
Let's work together to keep our whenua clean and thriving - we're here to help!
Eligibility Criteria
- The clean-up must be a volunteer-led community event.
- A Risk Assessment and Health & Safety Management Plan must be submitted and approved by Council prior to the event.

IMPORTANT
