Leave no trace, remove rubbish (eg food wrappers and drink containers), report what you can’t safely move.
Honour the traditions and cultural heritage of the Traditional Custodians of this land. Co-operate with land owners and managers.
Stay safe, protect flora and fauna and do not damage the trails.
Be inclusive, facilitate accessability, look out for other trail users, communicate, give way and smile.
Do whatever you can - record findings, report hazards, offer aid, do maintenance, show your thanks, spread the word and support others on their journey.
Don't forget to smile! Have fun with your mates and enjoy being in nature as you discover your flow state.
Use this precious time in nature to refresh, revitalise and reset your body and mind.
Use the trails to discover new places, develop new skills, experience different cultures and meet new people.
Share the philosophy and collective purpose with others, lead by example, educate and inspire action.
We're working hard on a couple of initiatives, including creating Australia's first 'State Of Our Trails' report! This is an exercise in establishing where we're at in terms of our trails and to what degree they are trash free. This allows us to understand not only where help and guidance is needed most, but also which communities seem to be getting it right and from whom others can learn.

Please take necessary precautions, looking out for hazards that may include leeches, spiders, snakes, dogs, golf balls, broken glass, asbestos and other good stuff!
If you see single-use pollution that needs moving, but you don't want to be the one to move it, contact your local council!

Leave your email address and we'll send you 'Trash Talk' - our updates about Trash Free Trails Down Under.
Of if you want to get involved, have a question, seen some serious trash on a trail or want to talk about Trash Free Trails, just let us know:
Trash Free Trails Australia is based on the Upper North Shore and Northern Beaches of Sydney. We respectfully acknowledge the people of the Eora Nation as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which our community exists. We recognise their deep and continuing spiritual connection to the land, waters, and sea. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
