With the support of generous sponsors, the team collected 511 kg of litter, ranging from microplastics and lollipop sticks to nappies, broken glass, syringes and clothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event showcased the power of collaboration, with Pick n Pay partnering as the main sponsor for the day, alongside Sasko and its mascot, Sasko Sam, and Don&#8217;t Waste, which ensured all litter was taken for recycling. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regular supporters Plastics SA provided the signature yellow refuse bags that have become a symbol of the initiative&#8217;s success.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-growing-clean-up-family\">A growing clean-up family\n<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>What began as a small initiative has now grown into a thriving community movement. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year&#8217;s clean-up drew toddlers, learners from schools youth from MyStudentHouse, parents, grandparents and first-time volunteers, all eager to make a difference. Zo\u00eb Prinsloo from Save a Fishie referred to the group of regular helpers as their &#8220;A-Team&#8221; and celebrated the many new faces who joined for the first time.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Volunteers were rewarded for their hard work with goodie bags from Pick n Pay, which included a recycled plastic pencil case, fruit, snacks, water and boerewors rolls as well as lucky-draw vouchers. Sasko added to the festive spirit with fresh bread and live music, while a long list of local businesses and organisations donated prizes ranging from vouchers and photo shoots to eco-friendly products and even a mid-week fishing trip.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-inspiration-for-the-future\">Inspiration for the future\n<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Organisers reminded participants that while International Coastal Clean-up Day came only once a year the impact of community action extended far beyond a single event.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Our actions ripple far into the future,  for our children and their children,&#8221; Prinsloo said. &#8220;We hope such clean-ups will inspire even more people to join our regular efforts and make a lasting difference.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/int6_40165.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Plastics SA&#8217;s signature refuse bags helped gather litter for recycling.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/int5_97684.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Goodie bags and prizes kept spirits high during clean-up.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/int4_08033.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Volunteers, families, and schools collected 511kg of litter at Lagoon Beach.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/int2_73330.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Organisers thanked the &#8220;A-Team&#8221; and newcomers for their efforts.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/int1_25536.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sasko&#8217;s mascot helped bring energy and smiles to the event.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lagoon Beach came alive on International Coastal Clean-up Day as volunteers, families, schools and community groups joined Save a Fishie for a morning dedicated to protecting the environment.
