Trust (Keep Waitakere
Beautiful Trust) has several
great programmes that
can help you achieve just
that, while also getting
to know your workmates
better and meeting your
neighbours at the office
or depot next door. |

| Adopt-a-Spot
We'd love to help you
keep your community clean
by offering you and your
colleagues the opportunity
to Adopt-a-Spot - outside
your workplace, your street,
a nearby school or similar
- and then helping to
keep the area tidy. |
| |
| We'll provide you with
specially printed bags,
and when a bag is full,
all you need to do is
contact us and we'll collect
it at no charge. |
| |
| You can play another
important role by letting
us know if you come across
abandoned rubbish bags
or dumped inorganic waste
when you're out and about.
We'll arrange for it to
be investigated and removed.
