The Great Spring Clean Up | Sep – Oct 2026
The Great Spring Clean Up encourages Healthier Cities, Healthier People and a Healthier Planet.
Clean Up Australia calls on Aussies to reconnect with the places we live, work and play, and help protect waterways and wildlife from the harm caused by litter. The Great Spring Clean Up is set to return this year, running nationwide throughout September and October, and registrations are now open.
As spring arrives, Clean Up Australia is encouraging volunteers and the wider community to take the opportunity to step outside, reconnect with the places they live, work and play, and help remove litter before it washes into local waterways, harms wildlife and spreads further throughout the environment.
Last year over 900 Great Spring Clean Up events took place across the country. This year, Clean Up Australia is aiming to go even bigger by encouraging more communities, schools and workplaces than ever to get involved and help top last year’s efforts.
The Great Spring Clean Up follows Clean Up Australia Day, the nation’s largest day of environmental action, held on the first Sunday in March each year.
How to get involved:
The Great Spring Clean Up is open to everyone, whether you’re looking to participate as an individual, a family, community group, school, workplace or with your mates.
Volunteers will receive a free Clean Up kit, containing reusable gloves, bags and other resources, with packs for individuals, families, community groups and schools available (businesses are asked to pay a small fee to help cover costs).
If you are unable to participate, donations to Clean Up Australia are welcome, with 100% of funds raised going directly to empowering Australians to take positive action for the environment and providing the free Clean Up kits to the incredible volunteers.
