BUSINESS CLEAN UP

The next Business Clean Up Day event will be held on 24th February 2009

Business Clean Up is designed for Australian businesses and is a unique opportunity for employees to work as a team and make a difference in the local community or the workplace.

It provides an opportunity for Australian businesses to help improve the quality of the environment and work towards reducing waste. 

Participation shows how you can:

• Demonstrate your responsibility to the environment and local community
• Involve your staff in a rewarding team building exercise with a difference
• Build relationships with suppliers and clients by inviting them to join you
• Gain potential positive media coverage

Businesses can participate in one of three ways by either registering a site; registering your office or through the Adopt-A-Site program.  Each of these options is outlined below:
