Clean up Australia Day
Every year, hundreds of thousands of Australians help clean up their local environment on Clean Up Australia Day. It's fun, easy and everyone can take part. Individuals and local groups can either organise a Clean Up site or volunteer to join an existing site.
Australians are the among the highest producers of waste, per person, in the world with an estimated 7 billion cigarette butts ending up in Australian waterways, streets and parklands each year.
Clean Up Australia Day is held on the first Sunday in March each year. Council coordinates four (4) registration points around the municipality:
- Corner Park Avenue and Shepherd Lane, Ashfield
- Haberfield Rowing Club Car Park, Dobroyd Parade, Haberfield
- Lackey Street Car Park, Summer Hill
- Corner of Elizabeth and Edwin Street North, Croydon.
A number of local schools also participate in the schools clean up every year.
We'd like to thank the thousands of volunteers who help make Clean Up Australia Day such a success every year.
