Business Clean Up Day

Business Clean Up Day is designed for Australian businesses as a great opportunity to help improve the quality of the environment and work towards reducing waste - as well as being a great team building exercise. The 2010 event saw over 500 business sites registered; these businesses have demonstrated that taking environmental action also makes business sense.

If you are taking part as a group of people from a business, this is the day to take part in.

The next main Business Clean Up day will be in March 2011, however you can register your business to hold a Clean Up throughout the year.
