Clean Up Australia Day
Thank you to everyone who participated in 2013 Clean Up Australia Day! Despite some wet and wild weather it has been another great year of community involvement!
This year an estimated 550,330 volunteers at over 7341 registered sites came together and helped clean up, fix up and preserve our local streets, parks, beaches and bushland. That's an estimated 16,150 tonnes of rubbish removed from our prized environment.
Clean Up Australia would also like to thank and acknowledge the local councils who support Clean Up Australia Day in a variety of ways. Every year they help make this amazing community event a real success. With the recent wild weather in some parts of NSW, QLD and WA we have had some postponements of clean up events for later in March and we would like to also thank those councils who are continuing to support these community sites with rubbish collection.
