Clean Up Australia Day

Sunday March 7, 2010

Gecko is coordinating Clean Up Australia Day in the Gold Coast region again in 2010 and there are two easy ways for you and your group to get involved;

To organise a Clean Up site, start by selecting your site. It could be a park, waterway, bushland – anywhere on the Gold Coast. For assistance or ‘hot spots’, contact the Clean Up team at Gecko. To take a preview of the Hotspots, download the document below.

Next, register your site at the Clean Up website or through Gecko. Closer to the day, you will receive your kit containing everything you need to run your site and manage the site volunteers.

The Gecko Clean Up team can also assist you in promoting your Clean Up site to attract volunteers!

To volunteer at an existing site, register at the Clean Up website or contact Gecko.

The site supervisors will supply volunteers with instructions, bags, gloves and a sharps container. Volunteers are reminded to wear sturdy shoes, gloves, sunscreen and a hat on the day.

For more information, visit the Clean Up website , email Gecko’s Clean Up Team at cleanup@gecko.org.au or call Gecko on 5534 1412.

And please, help us spread the word by telling your friends, neighbours and colleagues all about this wonderful campaign!
