Keeping track of Te Puke’s rubbish hot spots has highlighted one area in desperate need of some TLC.

The town’s railway corridor is the target of Keep Te Puke Beautiful’s latest clean-up that will take place no Sunday.

Spruce Up Sunday is the latest in a series of community clean-ups, and a chance for locals to roll up their sleeves.

“Spruce Up Sunday is a great opportunity for locals to come together and make a visible difference,” said Keep Te Puke Beautiful’s Craig Wallace.

“Even an hour or two of your time can really help to brighten up our town and show how much we care about Te Puke.”

Kiwirail has given Keep Te Puke Beautiful special access to clean up the rail corridor between Bramble Bridge and the Jocelyn St bridge, an area that has gathered plenty of litter as well as larger items like bicycle frames and shopping trolleys.

“These opportunities don’t come around very often, so let’s make the most of it and get those tracks looking great again,” said Wallace.

The meeting place is Jubilee Park, next to New World, with a health and safety briefing at 9am.

Gloves and rubbish bags would be provided, but participants were encouraged to wear closed-in shoes and bring gardening gloves if they have them.

Keep Te Puke Beautiful thanks supporters Mitre 10 Te Puke, Arun Mehan of Bayleys Real Estate, Graeme Crossman of Kiwifruit Country Tours, and Powerco for their ongoing support and contribution to the community.
