Clean Up Australia Sustainability Profile

Our mission is to inspire and mobilise communities to care for and protect our environment, eliminate litter, and end waste.

Clean Up Australia was founded in 1990 and is one of Australia's most recognised and trusted environmental charities, best known for Clean Up Australia Day, the nation's largest community-based environmental event. Since then, 21+ million people have participated in Clean Up activities!

At Clean Up Australia, our mission goes far beyond just cleaning up. We’re here to inspire and empower our communities, schools, businesses and councils to drive change. Education is the key to lasting impact, and through it, we aim to foster a deeper understanding of how we can protect and conserve our environment. Together, we can eliminate litter, reduce waste, and create a cleaner, healthier Australia for generations to come.
