The City of Greater Bendigo is encouraging community groups, clubs, organisations and individuals to register a site that they are prepared to clean up as part of the annual Clean Up Australia Day on Sunday March 1, 2026.
Clean-up sites are organised by community groups and organisations and the day is a good opportunity for everyone to come together, meet neighbours and other members of the community and help clean up local parks and waterways.
City of Greater Bendigo Presentation and Assets Director Brian Westley said Clean Up Australia Day is the largest ongoing community participation event in Australia with tens of thousands of Australians in cities and towns taking part each year.
"Clean Up Australia Day is an important, annual event that provides an opportunity for people of all ages to work together to help enhance our local community and our local environment and I encourage local groups and individuals to get involved," Mr Westley said.
"Many environmentally important local areas benefit greatly each year from Clean Up Australia Day.
"Local waterways, bush reserves and recreation areas are targeted and loads of rubbish are collected and taken away each Clean Up Australia Day."
