WaCC and OCCA get active for Clean Up Australia Day events

The Wolston and Centenary Catchments (WaCC) and Oxley Creek Catchment Association (OCCA) have celebrated 'Clean up Australia Day 2012' with a series of events.

WaCC assisted Darra State School with their 'School Clean Up' on Friday 2 March when more than 190 students got active to tidy up their school grounds. It was wonderful to have the input of the entire school and the students did a fabulous job bringing the school grounds back to a litter free zone. n total the students collected more than 10kg of general waste and 3kg of recyclables that included plastic bottles, cans and paper products.

WaCC and OCCA continued the clean up on Saturday 3 March with a canoeing clean up event along Oxley Creek and at the Oxley Common. Canoes were launched from the PamphletBridge pontoon near the mouth of the Brisbane River before the paddlers headed upstream picking up creek side rubbish along the way.
