Clean Up Australia Day

Published on 28 February 2020

Staff members, residents, and businesses have turned out across Blacktown for Clean Up Australia Day.

Almost 100 community, businesses and school clean up sites were registered across Blacktown City for the annual event.

Blacktown City Mayor Tony Bleasdale OAM said he was proud of the effort put in by the Blacktown community.

“It is very encouraging to see businesses as well as residents donning gloves and cleaning our streets, parks and reserves for Clean Up Australia Day,” Mayor Bleasdale said.

“The Alpha Phi Omega Association, the Sathya Sai International Organisation, the Order of the Knights of Rizal, and the Woodcroft Festival Committee, are just some of the groups participating in Clean Up Australia Day.”

“The benefits of cleaning up our sites are significant, it boosts community pride, our city is more appealing to visitors, and it encourages long-term behavioural change.”

Cleanaway, Beak & Johnston City Kitchen, De Bortoli Wines, Systems Connect, Green’s General Foods Pty Ltd, and Seymour Whyte - M4 Smart Motorway, gathered at various locations across the City for Clean Up Australia Day.

Staff from Blacktown City Council also took to the streets during their lunch break to Clean Up.
