Community litter collections
Council support for community litter collections
Council supports community members who safely collect litter within Moreland.
We can provide a collection if you contact Council in advance or complete the form below to organise a pick up location.
Register your community litter collection event
If you have a community litter collection we encourage you to register your event with Friends of Merri Creek and add it to Council's online events calendar.
Registering your event with Friends of Merri Creek provides you with coverage under their public liability insurance and access to their litter clean up kit, which contains gloves, high vis vests, bags, first aid equipment and data sheets.
Many additional resources are available on the Friends of Merri Creek website such as a voluteer registration form and site safety checklist along with other information to help you keep safe when collecting litter.
Friends of Merri Creek can also provide assistance promoting your event and other helpful advice and resources for the safe collection of littered items.
For further information and to register please visit the Friends of Merri Creek website.
