How do I organise a Business Clean Up? 

It's easy, fun and rewarding when you organise a Business Clean Up event. Follow our 3 simple steps here . 

Why should my organisation to run a Business Clean Up event?

A Business Clean Up is a great way to:

• Make a difference by helping us deliver tangible environmental benefits
• Be seen supporting your community and involve your staff, customers and stakeholders
• Increase team cohesion via a low-cost team building exercise
• Include your activity as part of your corporate social responsibility and sustainability goals

Why do businesses get charged a fee of $220+GST?

Clean Up Australia relies on the support of businesses to help provide free materials for community groups and schools.

We charge a $220 plus GST registration fee per Business Clean Up Event, which is payable at the time of registration. 

What does the kit contain? 

A typical Clean Up Kit contains: 

• 10 large bags (half for recycling and half for general rubbish)
• 10 pairs of gloves
• 1 supervisor's vest
  
• 1 sharps container
  
• Letter with instruction

What do I need to know when I register a site? 

Prior to registering you will need to: 

• Think of a name for your site
• Be able to define its location eg South side of Cooks River from Wardell Road to Illawarra Road
• Pick a date and time range
• Have your credit card handy (cost of business registration is $220 plus GST per site)
• Identify a site supervisor for each group - have their name, mobile number and emergency contacts ready to enter
• Decide if you can dispose of collected rubbish via your normal waste channels. If not, you will need to make alternative arrangements. Your local council may be able to help. Let us know if you need any help with this

What do I need to do once I register?

Prior to Clean Up Day

• Read our Site Guide and follow safety instructions in it
• Inspect the site if you have not already done so. Identify any potential hazards 
• If you are expecting more than 10 volunteers, it is advisable to complete our Risk Assessment form to ensure you have considered all safety issues
• Promote your Clean Up within your organisation
• Check your COVID-19 safety arrangements

Organise equipment. Refer to our Site Guide. We will supply you with a starter kit which includes:

• 10 large bags (half for recycling and half for general rubbish)
• 10 pairs of gloves
• Hand sanitiser
• 1 supervisor's vest
• 1 face mask
• 1 sharps container
• Letter with instructions

Please note Clean Up groups are currently restricted to 10 people. However, you can  have up to 20 people participate at the one location by splitting your Clean Up into two groups of 10 and registering two sites separately. To qualify for this you will need to:

• Have both activities on the same day

• Have a different site supervisor for each group

• Have both groups at essentially the same location - but they must remain distanced

This could be achieved by having the two groups clean up at different times, or starting from a different meeting place. If you wish to do this, register and pay for one site with a relevant site name – followed by “–Site A”, then register a second site with same name but add “-Site B”.

On the Day

You will need to ensure that you follow the procedures outlined in the Site Guide. You will need the following documents from our resources section:

• Volunteer Registration (we encourage the use of our QR Code Digital Registration rather than the paper form)
• Risk Warning Poster
• Accident and Incident Form
• End of Clean up Report
  
• Follow COVID-19 safe practices
