Business Clean Up Day

Being part of an Australian team is an opportunity of a lifetime. So why not give your team this chance and join Team Clean Up Australia. You and your company can help to create a cleaner environment by just spending an hour or two collecting litter in your local area or clean up your own office space and reduce waste.

We have two great examples how a park Clean Up and an office Clean Up can help to keep rubbish out of the environment and toxic e-waste out of landfill. Read our case studies.

Last year 337 businesses across Australia took part to help remove more than 16,000 tonnes of rubbish. Since then a lot has happened in Australia for the environment with more and more businesses embracing their opportunities to work within sustainable work practices.

We want to see this trend growing with more businesses getting involved in 2012 Business Clean Up Day.

So be a good sport and join the team for Business Clean Up Day on Tuesday 28 February.
