Roland Davies spent his life savings trying to clean up Sydney’s beaches with free coffees and a fire truck called Trish.
One person’s trash might be another’s treasure, but Roland Davies said the three kilograms of cocaine found by one of his litter collectors at Freshwater Beach “scared the daylights out of both of us”.
It is a full day’s work by the time he washes coffee cups and buckets and drives Trish around to replenish batteries depleted by his espresso machine. “The best way to avoid pollution on our beaches is to avoid single-use plastics and disposable food and drink packaging in the first place,” she said.Davies is an evangelist about cleaning up beach pollution, but does not rush to judge the probable culprits responsible for the empty alcohol bottles, discarded fishing gear and overflowing bins.
His long-term ambition is to expand his litter collection beyond the northern beaches with a fleet of vehicles equipped with espresso machines.“There are worse things to spend money on for sure,” he said. “But it definitely has cost, like, everything I have.”
