Greater Bendigo residents can lend a helping hand at five local sites in Bendigo, Kangaroo Flat, North Bendigo, Heathcote and Huntly on Clean Up Australia Day on Sunday March 5, 2023.
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 one of the five local sites on the day.
“It’s easy to participate and all you have 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.”
