Want to do some absolutely awesome work stopping bags and bags of rubbish ending up in Parramatta River and on our beaches? Then PLEASE join us in cleaning up Duck Creek, the filthy underbelly of Parramatta! There is just so much rubbish accumulating here, washed down the stormwater network from overflowing bins and dumped rubbish
Unfortunately very few people know about the really sad state of Duck Creek, as it's tucked behind an industrial area. Most of the litter is residential though - plastic bottles and bags, clothing and household items, plus some construction and industrial rubbish.
We're been cleaning up here since September 2020 and have so far removed close to 250 large bags of rubbish, weighing over a tonne!
Due to the nature of the site, you must wear gumboots or enclosed water proof shoes. We strongly recommend only children 7yrs and older attend under the full supervision of an adult.
All necessary equipment, such as gloves, bags and tongs, will be provided. You just need to come ready to do some awesome work removing a lot of rubbish. Plus wear waterproof, enclosed shoes and long pants and top and bring water bottle and lunch.
Keep in mind there are no toilets on-site, but there are some a short drive away at a local petrol station. There is free street parking along Shirley St.
