| 29 March 2017 (amended: 16 February 2017) |
Participants for Clean up Australia Day will once again have their waste transfer station disposal fees waived by Wakefield Regional Council.
Wakefield Regional Council fully supports the Clean up Australia Day initiative as it empowers community members to work together in conserving our environment. Not only are there aesthetic benefits, the event promotes friendships and enables a bond between communities.
There are three dates set aside to Clean up Australia in 2017; Business Clean Up is on 28 February, School Clean Up is 3 March and Community Clean Up is scheduled for Sunday 5 March.

Wakefield Regional Council CEO Jason Kuchel said, “Council is always keen to support community activities, especially those which take pride in our region by beautifying and taking care of the environment.”
