We took on the Clarence Street area around the shops and car parks. We collected a lot of rubbish but on the whole were amazed at just how little there was for an entire year. It seems that the Moss Vale locals really are good at cleaning up after themselves (with a bit of help from the council no doubt). Basically it should have been called the "clean up the cigarette butts day" instead!! We were simply astounded at the amount of cigarette butts people throw on the ground......
Saskia and Rod won second prize for the strangest item collected - a computer monitor, mouse and keyboard. Interestingly not the hard drive though. Saskia found the computer equipment in the car park opposite the delivery dock to the IGA on Elizabeth Street. Just in case you're thinking that computer equipment is not really that strange....we actually got the prize because within half an hour of moving the computer to the collection site, someone had already decided to do their own recycling and took the computer monitor for themselves. Good luck to them, hope it works out well!! (Incidentally first prize was a ring and a spanner).
Other highlights included the lunchtime sausage sizzle put on by the Lions Club. Also our Chamber president, Michael Craig being knocked over by a bus when using the whipper snipper at the old car site on the Robertson Road roundabout. No-one can question Michael's commitment to the cause - he got back up and kept right on going!!
