It's hard to believe that what was started thirty-five years ago, by Ian Kiernan, AO, an "average Australian" who had a simple idea to make a difference in his own backyard has now become the nation's largest community-based environmental event, held annually on the first Sunday in March.
Over 22 million Aussies have stepped up over the years, pulled on their gloves and donating their time to improve the environment. Registration for Clean Up Australia Day is free for communities and schools (businesses pay a small fee) and this ensures that not only are you covered by our public liability insurance, but you'll receive a free Clean Up kit with all the materials required to host a safe and successful event.
