Outsiders join clean-up program
Volunteers from outside the Peninsula have started helping clean up local waterways, in efforts co-ordinated by Mr Graham Johnstone of MacMasters Beach.
Ten volunteers from North Gosford Learning Centre assisted in the clean-up of Daleys Point and the Empire Bay Channel on Wednesday, August 14.
The bay south of the Rip Bridge saw a large amount of litter removed with five full bags filled with plastic bottles and pieces of plastic.
The foreshore south of the bay saw two tyres retrieved and one full bag of rubbish.
The small Island at the end of Empire Bay Channel, which was partly completed last month, was completely cleaned.
Plastic bottles, food packaging and beer bottles were collected with five full bags filled.
All bags and tyres were transferred to Woy Woy Tip weighing in at 140kg.
