IN 2023, over 760,000 Australians pulled on their gloves and gathered for the iconic Clean Up Australia Day.

On March 3 2024, Clean Up Australia is hoping to see a similar, if not better response, as generations come together to help tidy local communities.

Vapes, cigarette butts, coffee cups and soft plastics are amongst the commonly reported items collected by volunteers who are encouraged at each site to report their findings. 

Clean Up Australia chair Pip Kiernan said the day is the largest volunteer clean up event across the nation each year and the most practical way to educate and demonstrate waste prevention. 

“We are always excited for new community members to join us who are yet to see what makes Clean Up Australia Day such a rewarding experience and why each year our community members keep coming back for more. It is such a special time to come together to care for and protect our environment for future generations,” she said.

Registrations for Clean Up Australia Day 2024 are now open. All volunteers receive a free Clean Up kit, containing gloves and bags and other resources, with packs for individuals, families and community groups available (businesses are asked to pay a small fee to cover costs).
