Last year, in the Blue Mountains, volunteers from 18 groups removed more than a tonne of rubbish from bushland and parks. The top three rubbish offenders were cigarette butts, PET bottles and glass bottles. And now the 2019 Clean Up Australia Day registrations are open. Residents can check out rubbish hotspots in their own neighbourhood and challenge friends and family to make 2019 the year when change starts at home. There are currently nine groups registered locally, three of which are open to the public and interested in gathering more volunteers. These are Glenbrook Native Plant Nursery, Bowaga Avenue, Glenbrook and Springwood Cemetery. Volunteers have donated more than 33 million hours, at more thanr 178,000 locations across the country, over the last 29 years. Together they have removed the equivalent of 350 thousand ute-loads of rubbish across Australia. To get involved join an existing clean up site nearest to you, or find a local park or area that needs cleaning. Once registered, participants will be sent a free clean up kit including bags, gloves, information and promotional materials. For further information on how to get involved and find a local site near you, please visit the Clean Up Australia Day websitewww.cleanupaustraliaday.org.au or call 1800 282 329.
