The time has come to register Clean Up sites for Clean Up Australia Day 2013.
Be sure to mark your calendar – the annual Clean Up Australia Day will take place this Sunday, March 3, 2013 and the Clean Up team members have set their sights on increasing the number of site registrations.
This year, Armidale Dumaresq Council (ADC) is cleaning up the Armidale Creeklands and all local residents are encouraged to come down and lend a hand.
Clean Up Australia Chairman Ian Kiernan AO is encouraging everyone to do their bit towards protecting their local environment.
“We’re urging all Australians to be a good sport and join the winning team by taking to your streets, parks, beaches and waterways on March 3,” said Mr Kiernan.
“Everyone can do their bit for Australia, individually or as part of a team. Clean Up Australia Day is a simple way you can clean up, fix up and conserve our greatest resource – Australia.
“Think of the places that are important to you – your local park, sporting fields, beaches, walking tracks, neighbourhood streets and bike ways – and pull together your own team to join us.”
In 2013, hundreds of thousands of volunteers will take their white and yellow bags and don their gloves to clean up their local community.
Registrations are now open to join Team Clean Up in 2013. To register go to: http://www.cleanupaustraliaday.org.au or phone 1800 CUA DAY (1800 282 329).
“Clean Up Australia Day is the perfect opportunity for everyone to come together and help clean up our local parks and waterways and think about how we can reduce our impact on the environment,” said Alexandra Kentish of ADC.
“Simply go to www.cleanupaustralia-day.org.au to register a Clean Up Site online, find a local site where you can register as a volunteer, or simply turn up at Civic and Curtis Parks on the day and register as a volunteer. Just remember to bring your own gloves, a hat, sturdy shoes, sunglasses and sunscreen.”
