Clean Up Australia Day 2013

Next Sunday 3^rd March I will be volunteering in my local clean up Australia day event.

Clean up Australia Day is an annual event held on the first Sunday of March every year, and encourages people to clean up waste from their local areas. Activities on the day include the collection of general waste lying in public spaces aswell as removing larger items such as dumped cars and shopping trolleys from water ways.

In 2012 an estimated 591,400 volunteers cleaned up 16,169 tonnes at 7,363 sites right across Australia. But we can do better! So be a good sport and join the team to Clean Up Australia on Sunday, 3 March 2013. 

Anyone can participate by volunteering to clean up a site, registering your own Clean Up Site to be cleaned or by donating

It works to foster relationships between the community, business and government to address the environmental issues of waste, water and climate change.  Clean Up Australia day has been running since 1990 and has since grown to become the global Clean up World movement, involving organisations and communities in 130 countries.
