Keep New Zealand Beautiful week runs from Sunday, September 14, until Friday, September 19, and Ms Boag, chairwoman of the
Keep Napier Beautiful committee, said it was an opportunity for people to give something back to the city by mucking in.
The Hawke's Bay branch of the New Zealand Motor Caravan Association is intending to clean up the beach foreshore from the Ellison Rd parking lot south, beginning at 10am on Sunday.
The Napier City Council's Youth Council are also planning to hold a beach clean-up on the 14th. They are meeting at the kayak shop at Pandora at 12.30pm and separating into two groups - some walking around the estuary along the track and the remainderwalking from Hot Chick to the Port.
On Tuesday, staff from Napier's The Warehouse, calling themselves "Redshirts Keeping it Clean" (along with anyone who wishes to join them), will be cleaning up the beach along the Marine Parade beginning at the Ocean Spa at 11am and ending up at the National Aquarium where they will enjoy a sausage sizzle.
