Creating a Clean Up Event

Creating a Clean Up is a great way to make a difference for our environment any day of the year!


You can register as an individual or community group, a business or a school. All you have to do is go through the registration process (which means you're covered by our public liability insurance) and we will send you a free Clean Up Kit including bags, gloves, information and promotional materials (please make sure you allow a minimum of ten working days between registering and your event day, so we have time to deliver your kit to you).


You can Clean Up Australia any day of the year – we know our waste challenges go far beyond one day.


Follow the 3 steps below to get involved. 

  • STEP 1: PICK A LOCATION

    Choose a spot near you that you think needs a clean up. Great choices include beaches, parks, bushland and riverbanks.


    Make sure your location is safe and accessible and that you have a plan to dispose of the rubbish after the event.


    If you need help picking a location, you can consult our litter hotspot list.

  • A non-confrontational and apolitical organisation: participants and activities must be peaceful and without political connection, content or bias.
  • Welcoming to communities of all nations, cultures, races and faiths: participants and activities must respect political, cultural, and religious differences and beliefs
