Each year, hundreds of thousands of volunteers take to their streets with white and yellow bags and don their gloves to clean up their local community. Parks, beaches, bushland, waterways, streets and schools – Clean Up Australia Day is a simple way you can take action to clean up, fix up and conserve our prized Australian environment.

In 2010, more than 588,000 registered volunteers across Australia pitched in at 7,073 Clean Up Sites. This year, as part of the 21st anniversary, Clean Up is calling for the support of every Australian to do their bit by joining others for the annual Day.

Business can also do its bit by registering for Business Clean Up Day - Tuesday 1 March. Business Clean Up Day is one way in which a business can improve its environmental outcomes, in the workplace and beyond.
