Greater Bendigo residents can lend a helping hand at six local sites in White Hills, Kangaroo Flat, Long Gully, Huntly, Epsom and Ascot on the Clean Up Australia Day weekend, Saturday March 1 and Sunday March 2, 2025.
Greater Bendigo Mayor Cr Andrea Metcalf said Clean Up Australia Day is the nation’s largest community based environmental event.
“Clean Up Australia Day has been an important community event in Greater Bendigo for many years with loads of rubbish removed from our local landscapes,” Cr Metcalf said.
“It’s a simple and powerful way to contribute to our local community and environment, so why not roll up your sleeves and get involved at a local site on the day.
“It’s easy to participate and all you need to do is attend one of the five sites, wear suitable clothing, bring along a pair of gloves, hat and a drink bottle and register with the site coordinator when you arrive.
“Some collection bags will be available but it would be great if participants could also bring along their own bag to collect rubbish in.”
Children 15 years of age and under must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
