Community members are invited to a series of events that will bring people together to help clean up and conserve our natural environments.
Clean Up Australia Day is Australia's longest-running national day of environmental action.
In 2025, this important campaign is celebrating 35 years of keeping lands, roads, and waterways clean and pollution-free.
Alpine Shire Mayor, Cr Sarah Nicholas, encourages community members to rally their friends and family to join a local event and help eliminate litter and waste.
"Every year, there are selfless people in our communities who make the effort to pick up rubbish across the Alpine Shire," she said.
"While we can't control the actions of those who litter, we can join these people on Clean Up Australia Day to help remove waste and restore our natural environments.
"It is terrific to see groups of people working together to pick up quite large amounts of rubbish and I thank all who participate."
