There once was Norm from Tropic Waste,

Who keeps rubbish from picking up pace!

When the bins overflow,

Norm’s ready to go,

And leaves Castle Hill looking ace! ♻️😂

Massive thank you to Norm and the team at Tropic Waste for their generous in-kind sponsorship and helping us keep the 24 Hour Castle Hill Challenge clean, safe and running smoothly!
