Clean Up Australia Day

7 March 2010 Every year, from Perth to Penrith, hundreds of thousands of Australians get stuck in and Clean Up their local environment by collecting and removing rubbish on Clean Up Australia Day. This year we are celebrating our 20th anniversary and we hope to make it the biggest community event to date! Clean Up Australia Day is fun, easy and everyone can get involved. Individuals and local groups can either choose their own site to Clean Up or volunteer at an existing site. Simple actions can make a huge difference! 20th Anniversary 2010 marks the 20th Anniversary of Clean Up Australia Day and we hope to encourage and inspire thousands of Australians to take to their local park, beach, bushland and streets and really help make a difference to their location environment. Clean Up Australia has made a huge difference over the last 20years. Last year, we picked up over 2 million pieces of rubbish. If each and every Australian picks up JUST 1 piece of rubbish, we'll pick up 10 times more than last year, making this the best Clean Up Australia Day ever!
