A Massive Thank You to Everyone Who Made the Great Te Puke Spring Clean a Huge Success!

What an incredible afternoon! Our Great Te Puke Spring Clean & Pizza Party was a smashing success, bringing our community together for an afternoon of cleaning, sharing, learning, and most importantly, fun!

A massive thank you to everyone who came out to help tidy up our beautiful town. We’re currently sorting and weighing all the waste collected and will share the final results early next week.

An Accolade to the Epic Te Puke Team!

We want to give a great accolade to the entire Te Puke community who showed up. It was truly inspiring to see every single person—from the youngest scout to the most seasoned volunteer—come together with such heart and determination. Your collective effort is a shining example of what makes our town so special.

A True Community Effort

This amazing event wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible groups who pitched in. Special shoutouts go to the Te Puke Intermediate Eco Class, Kiwicoast Lions, Janine and her homeschool group, and Te Puke Scouts. We also want to thank the Poutiri Wellness Centre, the hardworking team from Trevelyan’s Pack and Cool Ltd, and the energetic crew from Youth Encounter NZ for their fantastic work in Jubilee Park.

We were also honored to have so many wonderful community groups join us to share their mahi and inspire us all. A big thank you to Space for Nature, Predator Free BOP, Envirohub Bay of Plenty, Western Bay of Plenty District Council, Sea Cleaners .com, and the Maketu Ongatoro Wetland Society.

A Huge Thank You

And finally, a huge THANK YOU to Craig & Katherine from Keep Te Puke Beautiful, and their sidekick Kiki the Kiwi! Your passion, energy, and commitment to keeping Te Puke looking amazing are an inspiration to us all.

Let’s keep the momentum going! Keep Te Puke Beautiful is hosting another clean-up event tomorrow (Sunday) from 10 a.m. in Jubilee Park. We’d love to see you there to get involved!
