  • Zero Litter in Georges River

    Litter is gross! Rain washes all the disgusting waste from our streets down stormwater drains to our creeks and rivers. It’s poisoning the Georges River, killing wildlife and making it dangerous for us humans. We want zero litter in Georges River! Georges Riverkeeper is teaming up with schools and councils across the catchment to help educate everyone about how to stop stormwater polluting the Georges River.
