In the 35th year, let’s make this the biggest one ever!
Since 1990, over 22 million Australians have pulled on their gloves and joined their local communities to make a real difference in conserving and improving our environment.
We're putting a call out to all schools, businesses, community groups and individuals to get outdoors in Logan and be part of the action this Clean Up Australia Day!
Wondering how to get involved? Follow these easy steps:
- Find a location - Search for a site to join or register your own clean-up.
- Rally your troops and spread the word.
- Head out on Clean Up Australia Day and collect litter around your site.
All registered sites will receive a free Clean Up kit to help promote and deliver your event. Waste from registered Clean Up sites will be eligible for disposal at our waste and recycling facilities free of charge.
