Step Up to Clean Up - Sunday, 6 March 2022
Published on 21 February 2022
Council encourages the community to take part in Australia’s largest community-based environmental event, Clean Up Australia Day, being held on Sunday, 6 March 2022. Registrations are now open at www.cleanup.org.au/register
Shoalhaven City Council Mayor, Amanda Findley said Clean Up Australia Day is an opportunity for us to band together to step up to clean up, and care for our most precious asset – our environment.
“There has never been a better time to tackle common litter items, such as takeaway coffee cups, food packaging, masks and sanitised wipes. All of these pollute our local parks, bushland, streets, beaches and waterways,” Mayor Findley said.
Council supports registered Clean Up groups by supplying equipment such as gloves, bags, vests and rubbish picks, as well as free disposal at our Depots, if it has been prearranged.
COVID measures will be in place to ensure the health and safety of Clean Up volunteers, including set limits to volunteer numbers at events and Clean Up kits with hand sanitiser, plus bags and gloves for every volunteer.
Clean Up Australia Day – Sunday 6 March
Schools Clean Up Day – Friday 4 March
