INTRODUCTION

1 Review of Operations 2017–2018

2018 got off to another exciting start as we joined forces with more than 670,000 volunteers as they removed the equivalent of more than 15,000 ute loads of rubbish from 7,098 locations across the country. A 10.4% increase in Clean Up Australia Day site registrations and 23.6% increase in volunteer participation meant that our year started with a bang!

All of this has been made possible by community led action – and we salute the shoppers who say NO to plastic at the checkout, the thousands who continue to petition the major supermarkets to reduce the plastic packaging that has invaded fruit and vege aisles, those who take their own reusable cups to their local café and the growing number of people who refuse a plastic straw.

One great campaign outcome we are again celebrating is the continued growth of our youth participation – up another 18% this year. Increasing involvement of the next generation is encouraging, future-proofing Clean Up as we extend our push beyond rubbish removal into tackling rubbish reduction through campaigns such as YOU.

Because, as we all agree, reducing the chances of rubbish entering our amazing environment is a lot more effective than continuing to remove it.

Because when the rubbish is gone, nature can carry on…

2017-2018 also proved to be a big year of changing behaviours.

Our friends at Harris Farm Markets led the retail push to eliminate single use plastic bags at the checkout – replacing bags with boxes and paper alternatives from January. Since then they have continued to replace single use plastics throughout their network of stores – with the aim to become completely plastic packaging free.

The major supermarkets then joined the push, replacing their singlet style grey bags with a range of reusable options. We were delighted to work with Coles in a schools based competition to design their range of bags – the jute version of which has been allocated to Clean Up as a charity partner. Lily’s timeless leaf design and Reem’s stunning red pineapple bags will be available from July and December, so keep an eye out.

But it hasn’t stopped there, with other retailers also taking the plunge. Clean Up is proudly working with Rebel Sport, the Noni B fashion group [Noni B, Rockmans, beme, W. Lane, Table Eight], KATIES and WH Smith in store driven campaigns to replace plastic bags.

As customers settle into remembering to bring their own bags, the momentum of change continues, with supermarkets and a number of manufacturers embracing and extending single use plastic reduction programs by publishing new brand based recyclable and recycled content packaging targets.

We were also delighted to see the growing push by cafes, bars, clubs, retailers and McDonald’s to eradicate plastic drinking straws by progressively removing them from their shelves or replacing them with paper options.

The old adage, ‘the proof is in the pudding’ has never been clearer than the amazing response by NSW communities to the opportunity to redeem their beverage containers for a 10c refund. More than 500 million containers were redeemed during the first six months of the scheme.

As more collection points open we predict the flow of containers will continue to grow – increasing the volume of valuable recyclate in the form of metals, glass and plastics, and reducing the likelihood of bottles and cans littering our streets, beaches, bushland and waterways.

Queensland communities will have access to their container deposit/refund scheme from November 2018, with Western Australia on track for December deployment. All of which brings us ever closer to a national outcome.

Globally, our work with communities under the banner of Clean Up the World continues to support local endeavours to clean up, fix up and conserve. During 2017 organisations from 69 countries undertook 181 activities that ranged from clean ups, education campaigns, environmental concerts, creative competitions and exhibitions to improving water quality, planting trees, minimising waste production and establishing recycling programmes.

As we gear up for the 30th Anniversary of our first Clean Up on Sydney Harbour, followed by 30 years of the national event in 2020, volunteer and partner support of Clean Up underpins our ability to champion the work of the communities we represent.

Clean Up Australia Day 2018

­­During a week of action an estimated

670,087 VOLUNTEERS

joined together to clean up their local parks, waterways, beaches, bushland and roadways – reinforcing the relevance of Clean Up Australia Day as the largest community mobilisation event of its kind in the Asia Pacific region.

350,000 UTE LOADS Since the event started 28 years ago Australians have donated more than 33 million volunteer hours, removing the equivalent of 350 thousand ute loads of rubbish from over 178,000 sites across the country.

15,616 UTE LOADS During this year’s CUAD campaign, volunteers registered 7,098 locations across the country and removed an estimated 15,616 ute loads of rubbish. Participation reflected a 10.4% increase in registered locations and a 23.6% increase in the estimated number of volunteers who took to their streets, parks, beaches, bushland and waterways to remove accumulating rubbish.

5 Review of Operations 2017–2018

Our social media for the event included 648,327 Facebook impressions with 14,159 engagements and an 8.7% increase in our fans; 3.3% growth in Twitter followers with measured reach of 236,661; 10,60 Instagram likes with 2,600 followers + 92% boost in Linkedin connections.

177 COUNCILS supported their communities this year – a 10.6% increase on 2017.

22,736 MENTIONS Traditional media continued to support their local groups, producing 22,736 editorial mentions across the country.

The support from the Clean Up Australia Board, Sponsors, Business Supporters and Partners was critical to the 2018 Campaign, with many partners expanding their leveraging of 2018 events.

YOU CAN SEE WHAT

McDonald’s registered a record breaking 537 sites, and Coles ran in-store promotions for the event, registering 34 locations hosted by their teams.

Our friends at Cleanaway provided topical and educational social media content – and also actively supported the team when we announced our national results from a Clean Up site in Brisbane.

Community Action

Individuals registered 3,281 community sites for the 2018 event – attracting an estimated 69,913 friends and neighbours who worked together to remove around 7,218 ute loads of rubbish. Their favourite locations were parks, followed by beach and coastal clean ups and local streets.

It was interesting to record a new trend this year – community site supervisors are getting younger. In 2018 we saw an increase in registrations from those in the 19-35 age group, which at 36% of supervisors now outstrip the group 55+ which represents 31%. This is an encouraging development and one we will continue to nurture.

Another encouraging development is improved site supervisor gender balance – with males now catching up to females!

Tasmanians recorded the highest community participation increase, closely followed by groups based in the ACT.

7 Review of Operations 2017–2018

Kid Power 2,241 pre and primary schools registered their students for Schools Clean Up Day. This is a 21.4% increase over 2017, reflecting around 454,368 kids and their teachers who removed an estimated 227,184 half sized bags of rubbish. Key targets for their efforts were either their school grounds or neighbouring parks and bushland.

The highest increase in school participation was recorded in Western Australia, followed by Tasmania and then the ACT. One quarter of schools which registered in 2018 were new to the event – suggesting we are expanding our reach into new school communities.

We applaud and thank the hundreds of teachers who, often in their own time, organised their schools clean up, encouraging their students to pick up and recycle on campus.

Review of Operations 2017–2018 8

Youth Taking Control

1.244 youth groups registered their high school, campus, local park, beach, waterway or bushland for the 2018 event.

This is an 18% increase over 2017 with sporting groups, societies, PCYC and faith based groups recording the highest participation increase.

We salute the youth leaders, teachers and students who organised their event and then corralled an estimated 28,988 fellow students, friends and fellow teens who removed around 14,494 full sized bags of rubbish from their chosen locations.

Top three locations for this group were parks, campus and waterways, closely followed by beaches and bushland.

11 Review of Operations 2017–2018

Having Fun Along the Way While cleaning up is a serious business, that doesn’t mean you can’t have some fun along the way.

In partnership with Take 3 for the Sea, Clean Up encouraged participating youth groups to get creative with their rubbish, collecting small pieces of plastic and arranging them in the shape of Australia.

Items were tagged with location, date, time spent collecting them, number of items and volunteers.

45 groups took up the challenge; recording an average of 211 pieces of rubbish removed by 19 volunteers during 1.57 hours of action.

This reflects a cumulatively effort of 9,951 small pieces of rubbish collected by 855 volunteers who donated 71 hours of their time.

The winning entry was submitted by 1st Tootgarook Scouts in Victoria.

Review of Operations 2017–2018 12

Winning Designs

In collaboration with Coles, Clean Up invited school students across the nation to submit designs for the range of reusable bags Coles released as they phased out single use plastic bags. Clean Up was allocated two of the 14 winning designs, nominating that our designs be produced on reusable hessian bags.

Reem’s colourful pineapple will be available from July. Lily’s timeless leaf design will be in store from December.

30c from the sale of these bags will be donated to clean up in support of our #banthebag campaign.

We thank and all participating students and their teachers for the wonderful array of designs which were submitted to Coles.

Business Action

207 organisations registered 359 business sites across the country for our annual Business Clean Up event. This represented an organisational increase of 9% and a site registration increase of 12%. Nationally, businesses from NSW and Queensland led the pack followed by those based in Victoria.

An estimated 6,181 business volunteers removed around 790 ute loads of rubbish from local parks, waterways, beaches and suburban streets.

14 Business groups chose to become Business Supporters, a program under which they encourage branches and/or divisions to clean up, leveraging their support via materials branding and promotional opportunities.

The Carbon Reduction Institute joined us as our inaugural Major Business Partner, undertaking a carbon audit of Clean Up’s office based operations as part of the partnership.

The 2017 Great Northern Clean Up WA Since the campaign that works alongside communities north of the Tropic of Capricorn started in 2009, more than 33,000 volunteers have removed the equivalent of 2,004 ute loads of rubbish from 907 registered sites.

In 2017, 3,401 volunteers picked up a bag, donned a pair of gloves and joined neighbours and friends at 94 registered locations. Together they removed an estimated 207 ute loads of rubbish from parks, roadways, beaches, rivers and town centres, donating 6,750 hours of labour to their community.

Congratulations to all of our most northern volunteers, many of whom participate twice a year.

A special thank you to the 10 Councils who either supported the efforts of local groups, or registered their own hotspots, during the 2017 Great Northern Clean Up.

Rubbish Report Our annual Rubbish Report is a snapshot of the rubbish removed on Clean Up Australia Day. Since 1991, the Rubbish Report has proven to be an invaluable resource in identifying trends in the types and spread of rubbish throughout Australia. It continues to demonstrate the importance of avoiding, reducing, re-using and recycling waste.

The Report is compiled from End of Clean Up reports lodged by site co-ordinators across the country.

In 2017, 907 locations counted content from 2,758 bags recording 274,816 items.

Plastic was the most common item, representing 35% [39% in 2016] of all rubbish items removed. This is the 23rd year that plastic has dominated the ‘Major Sources of Rubbish’.

In 2017 beverage related rubbish, beverage containers, and non-food packaging were the top three plastic items reported.

Miscellaneous items took second position in 2017 at 22%. [15% in 2016]. The most common item in this category continues to be cigarette butts reflecting 91.5% [2016 = 57.5%] of reported miscellaneous items.

As a single item, butts represented 19.8% of all reported rubbish – a disappointing increase of 11.5% over 2016. Butts

CHANGE… BUT THAT'S ALL ABOUT TO

But all that is about to change, with the announcement that the major supermarkets, Coles, Woolworths and IGA are replacing single use plastic bags with a range of alternatives come 1 July 2018.

This is an outcome worth celebrating – with the credit belonging to the one million + shoppers who said No to bags at Harris Farm Markets across NSW, the hundreds of thousands of people who signed on-line petitions to #banthebag, the thousands who sent messages to their local MPs and retailers asking when bags would disappear and the hundreds of community groups that worked tirelessly to encourage local retailers to replace bags at the checkout.

The state government of Queensland announced a state wide ban from 1 July, with Victoria and Western Australia promising reform by the end of 2018.

Frustrated by the refusal of New South Wales to join the rest of the country, a number of retailers have commenced working with Clean Up to support their own initiatives.

OF THE RUBBISH REPORTED BY

One in ten items reported by our volunteers is bottled water, the marketing of which is based around the myth that water in a bottle tastes better, is better for you and is more convenient than what comes out of the tap.

Over the course of the year we have spent times with business and school groups testing these myths and can report that:

• Only two of the more than 200 people who took our masked bottle tests preferred bottled water to tap

• We cannot find any scientific support

• 90% of the cost of bottled water can be traced back to the bottle, lid and labelling

• There is no shortage of taps –

supplemented by the growth of filling stations that are popping up in high foot traffic areas right across the country

• And if the attraction is bubbles in your

water – you can cheaply make your own at home or at work

We thank and recognise our 2018 Water Advocacy Partner Sodastream and Metropolitan Water Allies across the country.

It is estimated by the NSW EPA that seven billion butts are littered in Australia every year.

Made of cellulose acetate - a cigarette butt is not cotton wool – it is plastic.

And that means it’s not going to quickly break down. They will take up to 12 months in fresh and 5 years in salt water.

Within one hour of being dropped onto soil or in water a butt will start to leach nicotine and pyrene. These chemicals are toxic for small crustaceans and bacteria all it takes to trigger a week of carnage for these minute creatures is one butt in 40L of water.

So the Message to smokers is clear – Bin Your Butts

Every butt is packed with fibrous materials designed to trap tar and other toxic chemicals before they reach the smoker’s lungs.

The butt contains the remnants of tobacco, paper and the filter. Residue in butts contains toxic, soluble chemicals.

Polystyrene, clam shell packaging, is the most prevalent item - coming in at 29% of the food packaging count.

Next up is Glass at 24%, followed by Plastics at 23%, then Paper at 18%, Wood [ice-cream sticks] at 3%, unidentifiable or mixed items at 2% and Metals at just over 1%.

Food packaging is found everywhere, in gutters, along roadsides, at picnic sites, at beaches, in parks, in bushland. In fact it’s in all of the places we love to be!

And the problem not confined to takeaway food packaging.

There is a growing proliferation of packaging associated with all of the food we purchase.

Since when did our fruit and veges, which already come with their own protective skins, need to be smothered in plastic?

Why are multiple single serves then outer-wrapped?

The reason is simple - it makes the checkout quicker.

A number of responsible retailers are making changes - Harris Farm Markets has replaced plastic and is allowing their fruit and veges free reign on the shelf.

The major supermarkets are promising change [they have enormous influence over the supply chain] – but the timelines are long.

So between now and then it is up to us to choose what packaging we take.

Our Top Tips:

• Go for naked fruit and veges - just as nature intended them

• Do you really need that small plastic bag?

• When you do get unavoidable

packaging try to sort it into paper, plastics and glass - and recycle as best you can

• Feel like takeaway? Please bin your wrappers or boxes

• Take your own cup to your cafe - they might even give you a discount!

PLASTIC STR

Australians use about 10 million straws every day, or 3.65 billion a year. Most are used just once - for around 15-30 minutes, after which they are thrown away!

Plastic Straws are the 12th most common item reported by Clean Up volunteers.

They represent 7.5% of all reported plastics - with 7,304 reported from rubbish recorded last Clean Up Day. That figure has doubled over the last two years.

And they are everywhere - in our parks, picnic grounds, along streets, in and on our beaches.

But that is about to change.

Through the efforts of groups like Operation Straw, retailers across cities and town are choosing to take straws off their counters and/ or replace plastic straws.

RAW

In the meantime you can take simple actions TODAY:

• You can choose NOT to take a straw • Some people genuinely want or need a single use straw. If that’s you, you can choose to replace plastic with paper

• If you are a regular straw user because you need a straw then look for a reusable option that works for you

• If you do take a single use straw please bin it • And if you are a retailer, cafe owner, club or bar replace plastic with paper and try putting the straws behind the counter, encouraging people to ask you for a straw - you will be amazed by how few do so.

FUNDING Clean Up Australia is owned by YOU. While we work with the government of the day, we have a policy of remaining separated from political influence, allowing us to truly be the voice of the community we represent.

Our funding is provided by business partnerships and private donations.

On the business front we enjoy association with a number of like-minded organisations that provide funds and/ or in-kind assistance for our campaigns, projects and initiatives.

When an organisation partners with Clean Up they undertake to improve their own environmental practices. Since 1989 we have witnessed some exciting public outcomes and a significant investment in infrastructure which is often not as apparent to the community.

We congratulate our partners for their commitment to continuous improvement and look forward to being able to celebrate more of their achievements with their stakeholders.

51 Review of Operations 2017–2018

Graham Woodlock [Woody] 1947-2018

In early June we were greatly saddened to learn we had lost our friend and director Graham Woodlock – affectionately known as Woody.

One of the original team at Mojo who worked on Clean Up way back in 1989, he was a great bloke as well as being a keen contributor and we will miss him for all times.

He would be most pleased to see the continuing reach of Clean Up.
