Hannah Johns (12), of Omakau, and Riley Marshall (12), of Alexandra, fill bags with rubbish at The Pines in Alexandra yesterday.

They were among a dozen Alexandra Junior Youth Forum members scouring the woods for rubbish to mark the beginning of Keep New Zealand Beautiful's Clean Up Week.

Hannah said the group found plenty of ``pretty disgusting stuff''.

``Newcomers who come into Alex don't want to see that.''

Rubbish left in forests could have many harmful effects, such as animals dying from eating it, she said.
