Join a community clean up or start your own

A previous cleanup at Bateau Bay beach

As Australia’s waste challenges continue to grow, various groups in our communities have got together to undertake some small clean-ups in their local areas.

The idea is to support solutions that move us towards a circular economy – where everything is a resource, and there is no such thing as waste.

Here are the clean-ups that have been registered on www.cleanup.org.au. You can either join in this weekend, or start up your own.
