Clean Up Australia Day - Roadside Safety

Whilst roadside clean ups are encouraged, additional safety precautions may be needed.

Sites cannot be registered on freeways or major highways.

If you wish to proceed with your existing site, there are additional safety requirements that you may need to take into consideration such as:

• Children are not permitted to participate in any roadside activity
• A 3 meter exclusion zone along any major road may be required
• Additional signage to denote location and distance of activity (i.e. Clean Up Day site - next 2kms) may be required
• A temporary reduction of speed limit surrounding any activity may be required
• Use of highly visible safety vests and any personal protective equipment may be required
• Time limitations of activity may be required to avoid peak traffic times.

Clean Up Australia advises that you contact your local council to confirm any specific safety regulations or requirements that may be needed before you to conduct your Clean Up activity in your site council area.
