The Etu Rakau Waste Waka is a new initiative making rubbish clean ups fun in an effort to inspire others to protect our environment from harmful litter.
Founded and managed by Rata, he's been wandering his customised trolley around Tamaki Makaurau, blasting beats as he cleans up the streets. His Tik Tok account has amassed over 200,000 likes, and he's now launched an online campaign to raise funds and increase the reach his waste waka can have.
