A Business Clean Up is a great way to:
- Make a difference by helping us deliver lasting environmental change.
- Be seen supporting your community in its attempt to clean up Australia.
- Increase team cohesion via a low-cost team building exercise.
- Fulfill your corporate social responsibilities.
We provide materials and support
Participating in a Clean Up as a business need not take long.
- Get your staff involved and choose a location that they would like to see cleaned up.
- Register a site and nominate a supervisor.
- Spent two hours at that site (or longer if you would like) on a day that suits you and feel proud that you have made a difference.
- Send us your rubbish report.
Registering a Business Clean Up Site
Prior to registering you will need to:
- Think of a name for your site
- Be able to define its location eg South side of Cooks River from Wardell Road to Illawarra Road.
- Pick a date and time range
- Have your credit card handy (cost of business registration is $150 plus GST per site)
- Identify a site supervisor and have his/her mobile number
- Have emergency contact for the site supervisor (name and number)
- Decide if you can dispose of collected rubbish via your normal waste channels. If not, you will need to make alternative arrangements. Your local council may be able to help. If you need details for the person to contact at your local council call/email Wendy Chapman 02 8197 3408
Site Supervisor’s Responsibilities
