Gunnedah’s Clean Up Australia volunteers were among more than 800,000 across the country who took part in the 35th Clean Up Australia Day on Sunday.
Clean Up Australia Day is the nation’s largest community-based
environmental event and more than 22 million Australians have participated in Clean Up activities since its inception.
Pip Kiernan, daughter of the late Ian Kiernan AO and founder of Clean Up Australia, said: “I know my dad, would be so proud to see what started as a local community Clean Up event on Sydney Harbour, turn into the national day of practical action that is so loved by communities across the country.
“In 2025, we again see soft plastics and cigarette butts amongst the commonly reported items collected by volunteers who are encouraged to report their findings at each Clean Up.”
Founded by Ian Kiernan, AO in 1990, Clean Up Australia is one of the country’s most recognised and trusted environmental organisations, inspiring and mobilising communities to improve our environment, eliminate litter and end waste.
