“(It was) a great opportunity to give back to our community and reflect on the importance of the work we do here.”

“I service all these parks and these existing bins. It’s important that we show we are participants in the local community, and that we’re here to help too.”

For Clean Up Australia Day 2023, Cleanaway teamed up with businesses and the community to clean up our surroundings.

2023 highlights include:

City of Sydney

Volunteers from Cleanaway, Crown Sydney, JLL and International Towers in Barangaroo spent the morning picking up litter.

They filled 11 bags full of rubbish that weighed an incredible 45kg in total.

Resource Recovery Specialist Monica Davis said, “(It was) a great opportunity to give back to our community and reflect on the importance of the work we do here.”

Logan City

A team comprising of 30-strong our team members and Logan City Council volunteers spent three hours cleaning up and separating rubbish from recyclables at a popular local park.

All of these were then transported to Cleanaway facilities for further processing.

Logan resident and Operations Supervisor Declan Worth said, “I service all these parks and these existing bins. It’s important that we show we are participants in the local community, and that we’re here to help too.”
