Customer / Problem

Christmas Island is a unique and diverse tropical island located in the Indian Ocean. The ocean currents brings lots of rubbish from Indonesia and Asia, and dumps it onto our fragile beaches- endangering bird habitats, turtle nesting sites and the marine environment. Locals and visitors to Christmas Island see this rubbish everyday but are not sure what they can do to help clean it up.
