On Friday, March 1 educators and children from Camden Haven OSHC took part in a Clean Up Australia Day event at their local reserve.
Children wore gloves and helped to pick up rubbish along the Camden Haven river.
Camden Haven OSHC program manager Amy Bender said children and educators were pleasantly surprised there was not as much litter along the river as expected.
Amy said the children are hoping to inspire others to get involved and take pride in their local community to create awareness for a more sustainable future.
Meanwhile Lake Cathie's Shalise Leesfield was named a junior ambassador for Clean Up Australia Day 2019 and hosted a clean up at North Haven on Sunday, March 3.
Shalise said it's important to clean up rubbish to help protect marine animals from harmful materials.
The rain at North Haven didn't deter Shalise and other volunteers from carrying out their work.
Lara Nosworthy and her children Charlie and Aidan, are Lorne residents. They attended the Clean Up Australia Day event at Town Beach on Sunday, March 3.
Charlie is a student at Kendall Public School and has recently become the Minister for Environment after he was inducted into parliament at a special ceremony.
Charlie said he would like people to stop using plastic and start using the litter reduction initiative, Return and Earn NSW.
Charlie has gained $100 pocket money from collecting cans and bottles and then returning them through the initiative.
Charlie's mum Lara would like to see a Return and Earn NSW machine in Laurieton, so that they don't have to travel so far to return the items.
