Our Rangatahi are the key to stopping litter and ending waste. Thousands of children and young people across Aotearoa have already pledged to Be a Tidy Kiwi and have promised to Put Litter in its Place.
Supporting schools and sports clubs with standardised colour coded “binfrastructure” is an important part of our programme.
“Being a tidy kiwi means doing things like: Keeping the world tidy;
Making sure you put rubbish in the bin; Picking up your rubbish and others if it's on the ground; Recycling,”

"Being a tidy kiwi makes me feel like the happiest, cleanest superhero who helps the environment"

“Being a tidy kiwi makes me feel like I’ve done a humongous thing to make the world a better place. It makes me feel proud,”
