KEEP AUSTRALIA BEAUTIFUL WEEK

DATE: 5th – 11th August, 2024

Keep Australia Beautiful Week is held late August each year to raise awareness about the simple things we can all do in our daily lives to reduce our impact on the environment and encourage action.

Whilst it’s certainly important to recycle and reuse, reducing waste right at the source is the most effective and efficient way to make a genuine impact in Australia, to decrease the amount of litter we find in our streets and public areas.

Together, we all have the power to #KeepAustraliaBeautiful
