81-year-old volunteers for Fox River rubbish clean-up
An 81-year-old Aucklander and his grandson have answered a nationwide plea for volunteers to help clean up 5500 tonnes of rubbish exposed by a storm on the West Coast.
Volunteers and the Department of Conservation (DOC) are working to remove rubbish scattered across about 75 kilometres of coastline and riverbed after torrential rainfall and flooding exposed a disused landfill at Fox River in late March.
John Duder, a former environmental engineer, said he volunteered to help clean up the formerly pristine landscape because the effect on marine life would be devastating.
