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.
  • Waste must be dropped off at an approved facility.

IMPORTANT

Clean-ups must take place on Council-managed roads to qualify for support. If you're planning to tidy up along State Highways, please reach out directly to Waka Kotahi | NZ Transport Agency to find out how they can assist with your clean-up efforts.
