Young residents remove waste
Local clean-up crusader Mr Graham Johnston has brought together some young local residents, through Youth Connections and The Croft, to remove waste from the foreshores of Woy Woy Bay and Paddys Channel.
The task involved removing litter from Woy Woy Bay foreshores adjacent to the railway station, checking on isolated bays and inlets and cleaning up the Paddys Channel eastern foreshore.
"The clean-up day was Youth Connections first trip out together and the young clients were very keen to get in the water at Woy Woy Bay," said coordinator Mr Graham Johnston.
The railway station foreshore presented a substantial amount of rubbish, with six large garbage bags being filled.
Waste, including several abandoned oyster products, was also removed from nearby mangroves near the railway bridge.
All bagged litter was taken to Kincumber and off-loaded into a bulk truck for proper disposal.
