Get involved this year by hosting or joining a local community event on Sunday 3 March.

Find one near you and register at the Clean Up Australia Day website.

There are local clean ups happening around Glen Eira, including:

• Caulfield Station and Racecourse by Love Our Street 3162, 9.30am – 10.30am on Sunday 3 March
• Bailey Reserve, 9.00am – 10.00am on Sunday 3 March
• Caulfield Park, 9.30am – 10.30am on Sunday 3 March
• Grange Road, 9.00am – 12.00pm on Sunday 3 March

Every little bit of litter we remove from the community makes a difference.

Plus it’s a great way to meet some new friendly faces in your area.

As well as reducing litter – Clean Up Australia Day is a chance to consider the ways we can all prevent waste in the first place.

Sophie, Bentleigh East, organised a community clean up last year to help show her son how we can all help take care of our local environment. 

Sophie encourages others to give it a go this year, “I would absolutely recommend attending an event and getting involved, especially if you frequent an area regularly like a park, bike trail or beach.”

“It most certainly brings a sense of achievement and it is a great feeling meeting others who feel the same. It was a real sense of community on the day and wonderful seeing other families and children turn up.”
