Mark your calendar – the annual Clean Up Australia Day will be March 4, 2012 and the Clean Up team has their sights set on increasing the number of site registrations.

Cowra mayor Bill West said: “Clean Up Australia Day is the perfect opportunity for everyone to come together and help clean up our local parks and waterways and think about how we can reduce our impact on the environment”.

“It’s not too late to get involved, simply go to www.cleanupaustraliaday.org.au to register a Clean Up Site online, find a local site where you can register as a volunteer,” Cr West said.
