Clean-Up Galiwin’ku Week will take place from 28th August to 1st September. This special event aims to promote recycling and raise awareness about the environment in our community.

Cash 4 Containers – 28 August to 1 September

As part of Clean-Up Galiwin’ku Week, the East Arnhem Regional Council will set up convenient Pop-up recycling depots at the Council Office and Council Depot. The focus will be on the Container Deposit Scheme, where residents can bring their used cans and bottles to these depots and receive cash in return. It's a simple way to earn a little extra money while contributing to the environment by ensuring proper recycling of these items.

Mobile Muster – 28 August to 1 September

Alongside Cash 4 Containers, we will also have the Mobile Muster program. Collection sites for old and unwanted mobile phones will be set up at the Cash 4 Container areas. By recycling your old phones, you can help prevent harmful electronic waste from ending up in landfills and contribute to the recovery of valuable resources. You'll receive $0.50 for each old mobile phone recycled.

Cash for Trash/Clean-up Day – 1st September

To conclude Clean-Up Galiwin’ku Week, we will have a Cash for Trash/Clean-up Day on the 1st of September. On this day, you can bring your filled trash bags to the designated drop-off point and receive $5 per bag. Participants will also receive raffle tickets for prizes. This incentive is designed to encourage everyone to take an active part in cleaning up their surroundings, ensuring that litter is properly disposed of and not left to harm the environment.
