Site Supervisor Checklist


Great Clean Ups are well planned, coordinated and publicised. See our simple checklist below to help you coordinate a successful Clean Up event.

1. Before your Clean Up

Select a Clean Up Site
Choose an area near you which you think is in need of a Clean Up. Need some inspiration? Your local council may be able to advise of some suitable areas.
  • Get permission to access your Clean Up Site
    Your local council should be able to assist with this.
  • Organise the removal of rubbish from your site
    Will you be removing the rubbish yourself? If you would like your local council to assist you with removing the rubbish, please confirm this with them before registering on our website.
  • Register your Clean Up Site online, or download the registration form below and receive your Clean Up Kit (kits sent out in Feb)
    Register on www.cleanupaustraliaday.org.au or call 1800 282 329.
  • Complete a Site Inspection
    Utilise the Site inspection checklist in your Site Guide
  • Organise that volunteer facilities are available and any extra equipment which you need on the day
  • Promote your Clean Up to the local community and media
    See your Site Guide for further ideas of how to promote your event

2. On the Day

  • Put up a sign or banner to advertise your site

  • Set up your volunteer registration stall and position the risk warning poster

  • Hold a volunteer safety briefing
    Welcome your volunteers, brief them about safety and how rubbish will be handled on the day. Assign appropriate tasks to volunteers.

  • Distribute bags and gloves to volunteers

3. At the end of your Clean Up event

  • Ensure that the removal of rubbish is organised
    Make sure that rubbish is in an easily accessible for collection (i.e. as close as possible to the road) and not blocking public thoroughfares.

  • Thank volunteers and present certificates

  • Collate volunteer registration forms and complete end of Clean Up rubbish Checklist
