Clean Up Australia Day – Sunday 1st March 2026!
Posted on 26 February, 2026 by Lori
Together, we can make a big, positive impact on our environment – one piece of litter at a time!
Clean Up Australia Day is an annual nationwide event focused on empowering local communities to clean up, fix up and conserve the natural 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.
