WYNDHAM residents are again being encouraged to roll up their sleeves and take part in Clean Up Australia Day on Sunday 3 March.
The event, which has seen more than 200,000 tonnes of rubbish collected nationwide over the past 20 years, will be held at various sites across the municipality.
Wyndham Council is hosting a site along the Werribee River, with a range of community groups and volunteers organising clean ups in areas such as Tarneit, Mount Cottrell, Hoppers Crossing and Werribee.
Wyndham Mayor Heather Marcus encouraged people to take part.
“Clean Up Australia Day is a great family event, where people can get together with other community members and clean up their suburb,” Cr Marcus said.
“It also provides us with a reminder of the impact of dropping litter on the ground, rather than disposing of it in a bin. Litter ends up in our local parks, waterways and on our streets, not only making our neighbourhoods look unkempt, but also impacting on plant and animal life.”
