There are a number of activities and campaigns that schools can become involved in through Clean Up Australia. Schools Clean Up Day is an annual event linked to the Clean Up Australia campaign that allows schools to demonstrate care for their local environment while participating in a nationwide community activity. Many schools use the school clean up event as part of their environmental education program and include it as a waste education action in their School Environmental Management Plan.
Schools participating in Schools Clean Up Day are also invited to nominate one teacher for the Green Teacher Award which recognises teachers who have had a positive influence on students by carrying out environmental projects within their school community.
Schools Clean Up Day is held on the Friday before the first Sunday in March.
