On the first Sunday in March, Kensington residents join thousands of people across the nation, all cleaning up their local area on Clean Up Australia Day.
Meet Kensington’s Clean Up Coordinator Peter Duffy in Borthwick Park, Thornton Street at 10am on Sunday 1st March 2026.
Wear shoes for comfortable walking, sun protection and clothing to suit the weather.
Volunteers will be given gloves and sturdy bags for waste and recyclables, and assigned one suburban block to lap and collect items discarded on the footpath. In small groups we’ll cover all of Kensington.
Regroup in Borthwick Park to drop off your collected waste and recyclables and enjoy a free brunch cooked on the park barbeques by Kensington Residents’ Association members.
The KRA clean up is registered on the CUAD website here – and you can find out more about this national clean up by clicking here.
