Schools, businesses, organisations and community groups across the Burdekin region will soon begin gearing up for Clean Up Australia Day, with many calling for locals to get involved in the fantastic initiative. Scheduled for Sunday the 2nd of March, 2025 will mark the 35th anniversary of the vital environmental event, which has been making a positive impact on Australia’s environment, one piece of litter at a time.
What began 35 years ago as a simple idea from Ian Kiernan who wanted to clean up his own backyard – has since grown into the country’s largest community-based environmental event. Held annually on the first Sunday in March, Clean Up Australia Day has seen over 22 million Australians volunteer their time to help reduce waste and conserve natural spaces across the nation.
In the Burdekin, Clean Up Australia Day provides a unique opportunity for the community to come together and make a real difference. Whether you’re a local school, business, or community group, your participation is vital to ensuring the region remains clean and beautiful for future generations with registration forms available online at www.cleanup.org.au!
