The scene is set for this Sunday’s Clean Up Australia Day and more volunteers are needed.

Region X is holding a free group paddle in Cullendulla Creek to collect rubbish from 8am. They will also provide free kayak hire out of Mossy Point boat ramp between 9am and noon for those interested in collecting trash from the Tomaga River and banks.

Anyone interested in cleaning up the Broulee and Mossy Point areas can also grab some bags and gloves from the Mossy Point Boat Ramp.

Eurobodalla Clean Up Australia Project Officer Maree Cadman said 26 clean-up sites were registered while 13 schools were participating in Schools Clean Up Day on Friday 2 March.
