Every year hundreds of thousands of Australians help clean up their local environment on Clean Up Australia Day. It's fun, easy and everyone can take part. Individuals and local groups can either organise a Clean Up site or volunteer to join an existing site.

The day is firmly entrenched in the Australian calendar. It is an apolitical, non-profit community campaign in which everyone can participate. Clean Up Australia Day has successfully grown each year to make this community event the largest annual environmental campaign in Australia.

This year Clean up Australia Day fell on Sunday the 2nd of March.  The day was a huge success with over 6000 sites across the country cleaning up a staggering 7000 tones of rubbish!  The City of Port Phillip had 10 sites at different locations around the municipality, ranging from beaches to roadsides to parks.
