Clean Where You Walk
Melissa Lieser opened her Instagram account, 'Clean Where You Walk', in 2018, when she was still living in the United States."I would come home and complain after walking my kids to school about how dirty my neighbourhood was," she said. "My husband said, 'Why don't you just pick it up then?' "I thought, well, that's a great idea, so I started cleaning up once a week on my walk home from dropping my kids off at school and documenting it on social media."

ICW Clean-up Crews
Are you an inner-city apartment building person who might want to do a little bit of keeping your local street, gutter and/or area a little less home for litter? Yay! We can provide a free Clean-Up Crew kit to get you underway - a litter pick-up stick, a pair of gloves, a bucket, AND a hi-viz vest! (and, fo course, bragging rights!).
Email us and we’ll be in touch!: innercitywellington@gmail.com
Want to help on a street or beach cleanup?
We are so lucky in the Wellington area that we have many people who are willing to head out and tackle picking up litter and being part of street and/or beach cleanups.
If you are interested in helping out, here are some of the groups in the area.
