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 (time to be confirmed closer to the day). 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/recyclables and enjoy a free feed cooked on the park barbeques by Kensington Residents’ Association members.

The KRA clean up will be registered on the CUAD website – click here.
