25.01.2022 Want to find out more about the dolphins sometimes spotted in the northern waters of Port Phillip Bay? Don't miss Dr Kate's online webinar. It will be fascinating. Here is the link to book your place: www.trybooking.com/BKOYZ

24.01.2022 Please share with friends who live in postcode 3204: Bentleigh, McKinnon and Ormond. First action this Sunday.

23.01.2022 End the bottled water rort. Each litre of bottled water takes 4 litres of water to 'make it', requires petrochemicals for the polyethylene, (which takes 450 years to degrade and often ends up in either landfill or the ocean). Plus the bottled water in many cases is no more pure than what comes out of the tap (and is often less pure than water from your rainwater tanks). https://amp-theguardian-com.cdn.ampproject.org//silly-prod

23.01.2022 Refuse plastics whenever you can. Here's one huge reason why. Love Our Street volunteers operate in local communities to raise awareness and to remove litter from our neighbourhoods, supporting our Beach Patrol groups in working to protect our environment.

22.01.2022 It's World Environment Day and the theme is Time for Nature. Hope you get a chance to enjoy what our beautiful planet offers. Give back any way you can.

22.01.2022 Thanks to all our Beach Patrol and Love Our Street volunteers. Whilst we cant meet yet in our groups until regulations permit, your efforts to keep our community litter-free are much appreciated.

22.01.2022 If youre at Melbourne Zoo between now and Ist March, check out Planet or Plastic. Great display of sculptures and National Geographic images

22.01.2022 Litter will still be around, even though we have suspended our group cleans until COVID19 threat eases. Please use our Litter Stopper app (free download) to report your individual efforts to your nearest Beach Patrol or Love Our Street group.

22.01.2022 Just checking in with all our wonderful volunteers around the bay and into the suburbs of Melbourne. We hope youre doing fine and staying healthy mentally and... physically. One of the best things about Beach Patrol and Love Our Street is the new friendships that have been forged over the years. We think this is one of the most important parts of what we do, facilitating connections within our neighbourhoods, connections that can be really important at a time like this. We wanted to tell you how much we appreciate all of your efforts and friendship over the past decade and we really look forward to the day when we can get back out there together and continue our work to keep our beaches and streets clean. In the meantime, stay healthy and look after each other, particularly those that are more vulnerable. #wegotthis See more

20.01.2022 Two years ago and again last year, 300+ volunteers from Beach Patrol and Love Our Street groups cleaned litter from the whole of Melbourne's CBD. Whilst our gro...up activities are suspended due to COVID-19, individuals continue to clean their neighbourhoods. If people just made sure there was no litter in front of their homes, workplaces or schools we could protect our own environment and wildlife. See more

19.01.2022 A Container Deposit Scheme for Victoria has been a campaign goal for 10 years. Now that it's coming, it must not fall into the hands of beverage companies that so strongly opposed it. Vested interests should not be allowed. Please sign.

18.01.2022 Today is World Oceans Day. Wherever you are, you can help free our oceans from litter. Please, pick up what you can. Gloves and tongs will keep you safe, while you keep our creatures safe.

17.01.2022 Smokers please carry a portable ashtray.

15.01.2022 Two people, one hour, 12.7kg. While we wait for our community cleans to restart, we can still look after the Nature Reserve. Use Litter Stopper app to record collections. Beach Patrol committee has plans in place for COVID-19 safe return when permitted.

14.01.2022 The other Corona (and other brands) plague. Some of today's 4kg of litter.

13.01.2022 Here's one creature our litter collections help protect by stopping litter flowing down the drains into the sea. Thanks Fam.

11.01.2022 To all who can help: please do.

11.01.2022 Hello Spring Cleaners! Check out this great video to some spring clean inspiration.

11.01.2022 Excellent creation from @thetrashtraveler WHAT? A BUTT IS NOT BIODEGRADABLE? SINGLE MOST POLLUTANT IN OUR OCEANS AND RIVERS!!! A cigarette butt is made of... cellulose acetate which is not biodegradable. It takes years to decompose and it got announced to be the single most plastic pollutant in our nature. In addition, it contains lots and lots of toxins which will be rinsed into the nature, water ways and ocean. Think about it.. Smoking is your choice, but why to pollute actively nature? It ends up in fish and you'll eat it again. Yommy. Get yourself a pocket ashtray and carry them to a bin.

07.01.2022 Reduce plastic use whenever you can.

07.01.2022 We can still help Mother Nature. If your gutter looks like this, please clean it up to prevent polystyrene being washed down the drains to the sea. It's a horrible material that attracts toxins to itself. Ingested by creatures, it's very harmful.

06.01.2022 Thanks to all our Beach Patrol and Love Our Street volunteers. Whilst we can't meet yet in our groups until regulations permit, your efforts to keep our community litter-free are much appreciated.

06.01.2022 May these new jobs continue until no rubbish washes from our streets into our precious waterways.

05.01.2022 40,000 littered bottles and cans removed

05.01.2022 It is coming up to Spring again so stay tuned to this site for this years exciting news for Spring Clean under covid conditions.

05.01.2022 Lets not take our thoughts off the long term picture

03.01.2022 Summary for 2019. The BeachPatrol organisation including Love Our Street, in Victoria picked up and removed 39,564 littered bottles and cans in 2019. Is there any question now that Victoria needs a Cash for Containers scheme?

03.01.2022 Refuse plastics whenever you can.

02.01.2022 Tomorrow, Sat 19 September, is World Clean Up Day. While our groups cannot meet, individuals can help our environment by collecting litter. Please do so safe...ly, using tongs and gloves, disposing of litter in public bins. Of course, hand hygiene and masks are needed, too. If you pick up a bagful or simply follow the call to Take 3 for the Sea, we can have a litter-free neighbourhood and we will be protecting our much-loved local wildlife. If you log your collection on the Litter Stopper app, you can do this afterwards at home: Begin without timer, select our group, enter key info and select no auditing. If you pop your name in the notes section and say hi, that would be the icing on the cake! See more
