25.01.2022 hahahahahaha, couldnt stop myself! a case of ocd? hell, yes! unreservedly!

25.01.2022 productive morning! spring cleaned our patch with footscray rubbish runner louise, picked up mainly styrofoam and plastic shards along the river bank. then neil came paddling in!

24.01.2022 Woohoo, a bin will now be installed at the Heavenly Temple carpark and another at the entry to Newells Paddock! I am pushing for more!

23.01.2022 Impact of lockdown has been a massive increase of foot traffic on the Maribyrong River trail resulting in more rubbish being discarded. We are now petitioning the Maribyrnong Council to install more rubbish bins along the Maribyrnong River trail spanning from Heavenly Temple to Footscray Park and from edge of Burndap Park to Pipemakers Park. It would be great if there are more bins available to bin it. Watch this space for updates!

22.01.2022 we plogged today and picked up many small plastic shards!

20.01.2022 Footscray Rubbish Runners Lou and Des joined me for a river walk and rubbish pick up today! Great walk in the fog but sadly, we are finding more and more discarded face masks along the river trail!

12.01.2022 3 of us did a mini rubbish run just before the lock down and picked up 4.5kg of rubbish safe distance was deemed one arm length then.....

11.01.2022 It seems like years ago but March 1st, we celebrated our 2nd birthday on Cleanup Australia day - turn out was terrific and to top it The Rotary Club of Yarraville provided us with sausage sizzles and vegie burgers! Cleanup Australia also sent a photographer to our celebration. https://www.meetup.com/Maribyrnong-River-R//bpmnmrybcfbsb/

10.01.2022 half an hour of work produced 2 bags of rubbish around the tannery reserve area. there wont be any movement for a while on rubbish runs, so if you have time, please pick up some rubbish as you go for a walk. take photos and post them here - lets motivate each other!

08.01.2022 What a beautiful day today! As I went for a walk along the river, I ran into Terry picking up rubbish at the Edgewater Lake. He and his wife moved from South Australia, they love the neighbourhood and he regularly picks up rubbish in the area. Kudos to Terry!

08.01.2022 We had a burst of sunshine so Christine and I hit the bitumen! Headed across the river to Sims Street and picked up 10 kilos of rubbish - we filled up the garbage bin! Not bad for an hours work.

07.01.2022 did a bit of mini rubbish run with christine and jonathan on sunday, of course, practicing safe distance and picked up 8kg of rubbish - a fair amount of plastic blown over from the construction sites.

06.01.2022 Good response from council re: construction debris - "In relation to your report about the above matter that scattered building rubbish to the area. On 6 October 2020 I met and talked to Nathan Walsh the site manager, requested to control the rubbish in the site and to notify him that more infringements were issued. There have been number of the Infringements being issued to the builder company. I will patrol the area. Please take the photos and report if you observe the rubbish carried out from the construction site." If anyone see such debris, take photos and email to [email protected]

06.01.2022 another sunny day, fired up by yesterdays minuscule work, put in more time today. within 1.2 hour from 1 moreland to tip of tannery reserve, collected 1 bag full of rubbish and cardboard boxes. then stuck to the construction fence off tannery reserve and picked up another bag. today, it was plastic galore - even found a bag of cement mix! lets all do what we can before normality returns. post your photos, we all want to see them!

06.01.2022 hello rubbish runners, weather not so hot today but are you up to it for the spring clean you patch? if yes, i will be around heavenly river temple 1030ish! hope to see you!

06.01.2022 did a walk yesterday and picked up two small bags of rubbish, mainly styrofoam. looking forward to when we can do this as a group.

05.01.2022 our sept 12th rubbish run also cancelled as lockdown does not end until 13 sept. hope this will bring the numbers down. keep well all you out there and well meet up when we are able to.
