Waste Reduction Awareness and Education
We believe that small collective actions can create big change.
Team Up 2 Clean Up (T2C)
We are passionate about fostering a cleaner environment and stronger communities. Our T2C events, held monthly, bring together volunteers of all ages and backgrounds to clean streets and public areas, making a tangible impact on our environment while enjoying the great outdoors.
T2C’s mission is to bring people together to enhance public spaces, foster community spirit, and promote environmental stewardship for the wellbeing of all. Our efforts build stronger communities, connect with new people, and encourage care for Mother Earth. We provide tools and refreshments for all our volunteers, along with practical waste disposal tips; all you need to bring is your enthusiasm and a willingness to make a difference.
Join us because T2C events are beyond just street cleaning:
Building Inclusivity
Connect people from all cultural backgrounds to share a passion for the environment
Fostering Community Empowerment
Help build a sense of unity and shared responsibility within the community by involving different local community groups and businesses
Enjoying the Outdoors
Spend time outside, appreciate nature, and contribute to its preservation.
Providing Environmental Education

Providing Tools
We provide a complete protocol to follow, along with clean, high-quality gear such as grabbers, gloves, bags, and vests for safe and efficient use
Offering Refreshments
We provide healthy refreshments and a chance to connect with wonderful people at the end of the event.
Together, we can make a significant impact on our local environment and enjoy the benefits of a cleaner, more connected community for the wellbeing of all.
Waste Education at Events
- Look out for our stall at public events where we engage the community about the principles of 9Rs to achieve the ‘Zero Waste by 2040’ aspiration of New Zealand.
- Pledge to do any of the following to show your care for the wellbeing of Mother Earth:
> RETHINK your lifestyle choices
> REFUSE to buy things you do not need
> REDUCE by choosing ‘less is more’
> REUSE by giving items a second chance
> REFILL your empty containers or jars
> REPAIR to save money
> REGIFT your unwanted gift
> RECYCLE wisely by sorting plastic, paper, cans, and glass
> RECONNECT with nature. She’s been waiting for you all along.
- Volunteer as waste bin patrol at events – a great way to immerse in sunshine.
