Picking up rubbish from The Summit Road

Media Team from Christchurch City Council

We’d like to say a special thank you to the 120 volunteers who spent last weekend picking up rubbish from The Summit Road - what a difference it made! Piece by piece, bucket by bucket, these dedicated individuals worked long hours to retrieve bits of glass on hands and knees from among burnt blackberry, gorse and broom bushes.

Thanks – to all our dedicated volunteers (you know who you are). A special shout out to Riccarton High School Eco-Group, the Air New Zealand Green Team, Summit Road Society members, Kathmandu, and the Student Volunteer Army.
