LEVEL-UP YOUR 'LITTER-WARRIOR' STATUS

Most of us are fully aware that littering isn’t acceptable. Despite this knowledge, loads of rubbish still appears each year. Check out our 5 tips for stopping the litter that isn’t our fault from entering the natural environment.

Why are KAB Week and Landcare Week happening at the same time from 4-10 August?

Keep Australia Beautiful and Landcare Australia share the same awareness raising campaign week in August in our joint mission to enhance our natural environments and preserve local biodiversity, so we encourage Litter Clean Ups and Planting Days to take place throughout this week around Australia.

Any community-led group working on environmental projects as part of KAB Week, can also get involved in Landcare Week 2025 to promote their great work and inspire people to get involved and volunteer.

If you would like to VOLUNTEER with an existing Landcare Group, and participate in tree planting in addition to your clean-up activity you can look up your area HERE

DO THE RIGHT THING & KEEP AUSTRALIA CLEAN

Every August, for over 50 years, Keep Australia Beautiful have been educating Australians about litter, waste and other key environmental issues throughout Keep Australia Beautiful Week.

This year KAB Week 2024 is going back to our roots and focusing on our fight toward litter prevention and biodiversity preservation.

During this week we are challenging members of the community, councils, schools and workplaces to initiate clean-ups or planting days from 5-11 August 2024.

We also urge everyone to conciously review their “on-the-go” habits while they enjoy the great outdoors, leaving nothing but footprints behind.

We welcome all Australians – young and old – to learn something new about the environment, litter and waste behaviour during this week, and encourage corporate Australia to get behind the cause to DO THE RIGHT THING & KEEP AUSTRALIA CLEAN!
