Clean Up Australia

Clean Up Australia inspires and mobilises communities to improve and conserve our environment, eliminate litter and end waste. Their volunteers participate in practical action to remove accumulated litter from the environment, both on Clean Up Australia Day and year-round. Clean Up Australia are one of Australia’s most recognised and trusted environmental charities, engaging more than 23 million volunteers in Clean Up activities over a 36-year heritage. The Clean Ups that Clean Up Australia drives play an important role in maintaining healthy and sustainable ecosystems but also support social well-being within the community. Education and advocacy work are pivotal to their waste prevention strategy.

During the financial year of 2025, Clean Up Australia volunteers continued to unite against litter by taking to their streets, beaches, rivers, parklands and bush to Clean Up. An estimated 1,030,088 volunteers joined 12,242 Clean Up events, donating around 2,060,176 hours of their time and effort across the country to remove accumulated litter, in a spectacular show of community action. This impact was made possible thanks to the 266 Supporting Councils that assisted in disposing of collected litter, spreading the word about Clean Up activities and supporting local volunteers with extra Clean Up materials. Alongside them, the generous support of Clean Up Australia’s corporate partners remains fundamental to delivering their national initiatives.
