No Reason 4 Rubbish (NR4R) successfully wrapped up its cleaning-up event on 10 September.
15 kids enthusiastically donned their cleaning-up hi vis vests and gloves with support of their parents to collect rubbish around Healesville.
The participants collected rubbish from along River Street, around Coles, down the Main Street throughout the Train Station and the Community Labyrinth.
They filled the back of a Ute full with the rubbish collected.
“The kids really enjoyed it, it was a very positive and rewarding experience for them,” NR4R founder Cindy DeLuca said.
The event was supported by Yarra Ranges Council and Healesville Community Bendigo Bank.
Healesville Community Bendigo Bank manager Keeley Mahoney announced the three winners of the colouring-in competition, Cora Krstic, Jaxon Van Netten and Maiya Lorey – who each received $100.
The next cleaning-up event will be at 9:30am on Sunday 1 October, meeting at Coronation Park.
Everyone is welcome and kids kits will again be handed out.
If you are keen to participate in the event, join No Reason 4 Rubbish Facebook group for more information or just turn up on the day.
