Clean Up
Australia Day, Sunday 6 March, 2016
Clean Up
Australia Day is a national clean up day that was started by yachtsman Ian
Kiernan. Since the national event started in 1990, Australians have donated
more than 27.2 million hours cleaning their streets, parks, bushland and waterways
on Clean Up Australia Day. Every year Australia wide, hundreds of thousands of
Australians get stuck in and Clean Up their local environment by collecting and
removing rubbish. It is always held on the first Sunday in March. This year it
will be held on Sunday, 6 March.
Helensburgh
& District Landcare Group provide a registration point in Helensburgh for
residents to come along and register, pick up a bag and then go and clean up an
area of their choice. The filled bag is then returned to the registration
point. This provides you with an opportunity to clean up your own street or the
local park. We can also suggest areas which need a clean up if you wish.
The
registration point is at the Old Mine Surgery, 78 Parkes Street, Helensburgh, 9.30
am to 12.30 pm. You will need to wear a hat, gloves and sturdy shoes. For further information, ring Sean on 0410 694
