About
Clean Up Australia inspires and empowers communities to clean up, fix up and conserve the environment and imbibe sustainable living amongst all.

We believe that conserving our environment today will help support our tomorrow, in a healthy and happy way.
Together, we aim to motivate, STEP UP and support solutions which move us towards a circular economy. The core concept of the circular economy: keeping valuable resources circulating and out of landfill. We are an active part of this environmental movement and aspire to make a difference.
What is Clean Up Australia?
What started over 30 years ago, by an “average Australian”, Ian Kiernan, who had a simple idea to make a difference in his own backyard has now grown to the Nation’s largest community based Environmental event. Over that time, Clean Up Australia has evolved to provide practical solutions to help all Australians live more sustainably every day of the year, and emerged as one of the country’s most recognised, credible, and trusted environmental
charities.
Mentholatum STEPS UP with Clean Up Australia
Today, their focus and ours at Mentholatum, is as much on preventing rubbish entering our environment as it is removing what has already accumulated.
