Defence force and volunteers ramp up Fox River clean up efforts
About 135,000 kilograms of rubbish has been cleared from around a West Coast river after a storm exposed an old landfill four months ago.
Department of Conservation (DOC) operation Tidy Fox incident controller Owen Kilgour said good progress was being made on the clean up, with high numbers of volunteers and help from the New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF).
"We are still calling for volunteers for the weeks to come. The help of volunteers is crucial to getting this work done, and we want to get as many volunteers as possible while the NZDF is here until the middle of August," he said.
