Like you, we don't like seeing litter being washed off streets into stormwater drains and into our waterways.
Our rivers, creeks and iconic bays, and all the plants and green spaces in between, are home to our native wildlife of fishes, platypus, frogs and birds, providing places for them to thrive.
They’re the lifeblood of our natural landscape – they’re what makes living here great.
