Clean Up Australia Day 2 March 2025
Posted on 19 February, 2025 by Hadley Cole
Clean Up Australia Day is an annual nationwide event focused on empowering local communities to clean up, fix up and conserve the natural environment. This year Clean Up Australia Day will be held on Sunday 2 March 2025.
This year the national not-for-profit organisation Clean Up are encouraging everyone to get involved in Clean Up Australia Day for the BIGGEST Clean Up ever in 2025 as they celebrate 35 years of improving and conserving our environment, one piece of litter at a time!
From little things big things grow. Thirty five years ago Ian Kiernan, AO, an “average Australian” had a simple idea to make a difference in his own backyard and began a local Clean Up event. This small event has now become the nation’s largest community-based environmental event, held annually on the first Sunday in March.
Over 22 million Aussies have stepped up over the years, pulled on their gloves and donated their time to improve the environment.
Registration for Clean Up Australia Day is free for communities and schools (businesses pay a small fee). Registration ensures groups are covered by the public liability insurance, and groups also receive a free Clean Up kit with all the materials required to host a safe and successful event.
Local Landcare and Friends groups of the Mount Alexander/ Leanganook region often host a Clean Up Australia Day event. Please see below a list of local events happening across our region or to find events happening near you – click here .
