How to organise an international coastal cleanup

Registration You will be invited to return to your site Advantages: – early-bird priority registration, – experience, thus less effort in preparation – familiarity with the site, better safety – enhance your programme in small steps each year

Registration Check for available sites at: Explore site using the map: Register your location at:

Objectives for Organisers 0 – Be clear about your objectives. 1 – A SAFE and EFFICIENT cleanup 2 – Educate before your cleanup (marine life. plastic debris). 3 – Post cleanup analysis 4 – Be Green

How does an Organiser prepare? 1.Recce of cleanup site 2.Register and brief participants 3.Logistics 4.Transport 5.Data Collection 6.Communication 1.Recce of cleanup site 2.Register and brief participants 3.Logistics 4.Transport 5.Data Collection 6.Communication

The SITE RECCE is a critical step before cleanup to evaluate the actual situation as this influences how you manage your cleanup and allows you to address safety issues. AFTER you have conducted your Site Recce, do chat with your Zone Captain about details – they visit these sites every year. 1. Recee of the cleanup site

Things to prepare before a site recce - 1. Obtain a map of the area from: Google Maps Streetdirectory maps NParks webpage 2. The tidal level of the recce should be the same as the ICCS date; use Mobile Geographics 1. Recee of the cleanup site

1.1 - Accessibility of site How to get there? Describe. What is the distance between the carparks / bus-stops and the site. Mark on a map. Is there a place for vehicles to wait? Where are the boundaries of the site? How large is it? 1. Recee of the cleanup site

Location and boundaries of the site Are there any landmarks in the area? Bus-stops? Meeting Points and facilities? Use Google Maps.

1.2 - Meeting Point and facilities. Where is the “Meeting Point”? In parks, take note of sign post numbers and mark those on a map; these are used by police, ambulance and NParks. Where are the nearby shelters in case of bad weather? Where are the nearby toilets? 1. Recee of the cleanup site

Some sites may be far away from the bus depot. It is important to gauge on the time taken to walk to the site so that organisers can determine on reporting time and leaving time. How long to actually get there?

1.3 - Trash a. What is the estimated trash load? (How many can work the site) b. Where is the Trash Collection Point? Where you accumulate and weigh trash. c. Where is the Trash Disposal Point? Where you leave trash bags behind for NEA contractors to pickup. Usually near a bin centre or rubbish collection point. 1. Recee of the cleanup site

What is the trash load like? How many people can effectively work the site for 90mins?

The Trash Collection Point/Weighing Station Trash Collection Point(/s) should be located at a convenient and appropriate distance from the cleanup site. Weighing stations can set up at several TCPs to facilitate the removal of trash from a heavy load sites and consolidated later to at a single Trash Disposal Point.

1.4 - Safety Safety Identify safety concerns, e.g. hornets, snakes or lots of glass or syringes. Steep slopes, slippery rocks, suitability for children. Look for locations of rain shelters. You and your assistants must know the best routes to the nearest hospital location in case of an emergency. 1. Recee of the cleanup site

2. Recruiting participants Number of participants are determined by the trash load of a particular site and its ability to accommodate participants. The Zone Captains usually help to - determine this during Site Allocation exercise.

2. Recruiting participants Suggestion – use Google Forms

3.1 – Step 1. Organise your manpwer after they have signed up  E.g. 40 participants = 10 teams  1 team = 1 Data recorder + 3 Trash Collectors  1 Group leader (safety and mgmt)  1 Data Manager  1 Weighing/Loading I/C(ref. recce)  1 Photographer

3.2 – Step 2. Prepare enough data cards

Gloves Tough Trash Bags Weighing scale First-aid kit 3.3 – Step 3. Get other supplies

3.3 Gloves Are Important! Protects hands from very dirty or oil-soaked items Protects hands from very dirty or oil-soaked items BUT, gloves do not provide protection from sharp items e.g. needles BUT, gloves do not provide protection from sharp items e.g. needles So, be careful when picking up items! So, be careful when picking up items!

3.4 Beach cleanups with low trash load do not require many trash bags. Volunteers can bring their own plastic bags.
