Clean Up Australia Day is held on the first Sunday in March each year.

It’s a nationwide environmental initiative encouraging Australians to:

* Pick up litter in their local area
* Reduce waste and improve recycling
* Protect waterways, parks and beaches
* Build community connections

Founded by Ian Kiernan in 1990, the movement has grown into one of the country’s largest community-based environmental events.

In places like Byron Bay, it often focuses on beach clean-ups and bushland restoration.
