Volunteers work to clean up Thunderpoint
THUNDERPOINT is now looking much cleaner thanks to the recent efforts of a large group of volunteers.
Almost 60 volunteers turned out for Beach Patrol 3280-3284s annual Clean Up Australia Day event just under a fortnight ago.
According to organisers, a staggering 20 kilograms of broken glass was collected throughout the day, indicating the area was unfortunately a popular spot for anti-social behaviour.
A massive 2250 cigarette butts was also collected.
In total, the group collected 320 glass bottles, plastic bottles and aluminium cans – along with hundreds of plastic food wrappers, coffee cups and single use plastic cups.
The surprise find of the day was when one lucky volunteer found $50.
The event was supported by West Warrnambool Neighbourhood House (who provided a barbecue lunch), Chris Hosie, and a large number of Rotary Warrnambool members.
