Help stop our sea birds dying from plastic pollution, be part of our online team to clean up Aotearoa. 😥🐧 All you need is a phone and a bag to take in the RefillNZ Litterati Rubbish Challenge. 📱🛍
Using the free Litterati App, we’re encouraging Kiwis to photograph, tag, and dispose of litter that’s found its way into the environment.📷
The Litterati App enables us all to easily see the places and types of litter people have recorded throughout Aotearoa - right down to the street level.
Download the Litterati app from the App Store or Google Play Store.
Follow the prompt upon opening to enter a challenge code: North Island: REFILLNTH South Island: REFILLNZST
We can all use this data to lobby councils for more rubbish and recycling bins in the streets, more public water fountains to reduce plastic bottle waste, and put pressure on companies to reduce the waste they produce in their packaging. ... See MoreSee Less

Using Literrati doesn't just allow us to see how much progress we are making in cleaning up our streets🕵️👀...

It allows us to make real changes in getting councils to install rubbish/recycling bins, and challenge the stereotype of being the 'throwaway society'.

Every piece of litter paints a picture for the government🎨, and can be used as a way to identify locations that need rubbish/recycling bins. The founder of Literrati states their motto is "one piece at a time".

How many pieces have you put on the map?

Helping to Keep NZ Beautiful - Litterati data now available to everyone - its open source. Which means all the litter we collect and record in NZ we'll all be able to see - how much plastic, cans, what brands etc. We're aiming for 100,000 pieces of litter in Plastic Free July - if just 1,000 kiwis photographed and picked up 4-5 pieces a day during July we'd easily make it. Join the RefillNZ Litterati Rubbish challenge and lets clean up and measure the problem. Its super easy with the Litterati app. https://refillnz.org.nz/enews/… ... See MoreSee Less
