2011 Business Clean Up Day



Join the 2011 Business Clean Up Day!

When it comes to rubbish, Clean Up Australia means business. You and your staff can join the crusade against waste by registering for the 2011 Business Clean Up Day. The day is held in the same week as Clean Up Australia Day, the nation’s largest community participation event.

In 2010, over 500 businesses donned their Clean Up gloves and removed hundreds of tonnes of rubbish, fighting waste in their workplaces and beyond. The date for the 2011 Business Clean Up Day is Tuesday, 1st March 2011 and we are hoping to make this the biggest event yet!

Businesses can either organise their own Clean Up Site or demonstrate their commitment to the Cleaning Up the environment by becoming a Business Supporter. Also, Clean Up Australia is collecting mobile phones for recycling, so if you have any old phones, let us know!
