Litter Trackers is a collaborative project between RMIT and Melbourne Water, supported by the Victorian Government. The project is the first of its kind for Victoria, and only the second time that litter has been GPS-tracked in Australian waterways.
In a Victorian-first citizen science project, GPS-tracked bottles will be released in suburban waterways around Melbourne to reveal precisely how litter makes its way from our streets to our beaches. The Litter Trackers project will see RMIT University scientists working with schools and community groups to deploy 100 GPS-tracked bottles in 20 locations across Melbourne’s catchments and you’ll be able to see it LIVE and watch the interactive map that follows the journey of litter in our waterways!
