Clean Up Australia Day

Every March, over one million Australians come together to volunteer for Clean Up Australia Day. Step up to clean up in 2025 with family, friends and colleagues and get involved. Help tackle the growing issue of litter on our streets, in our parks, and on our beaches.

By volunteering, you’ll raise awareness about the harmful impacts on our environment caused by:

• single-use items such as face masks, takeaway coffee cups, and food packaging
• illegal dumping.

Together we can keep our city a beautiful place to live, work and play.

“I truly hope that in 2025 we can rally as many Aussies as possible to get behind Clean Up Australia and make it the biggest year of action to date. Nothing makes us prouder than to see communities from all walks of life and generations coming together with a common goal of making a difference for our precious environment,” Pip Kiernan, Chair of Clean Up Australia.

Take action today and let’s clean up, together.
