Clean Up Australia Day, founded by Ian Kiernan in 1989, marks its 35th year with over 22 million volunteers dedicating 38 million hours to clean local areas. Since Ian's passing, his daughter Pip has led the organization, seeing record school participation with 4,405 schools joining and a million volunteers contributing annually. The event has adapted to modern waste issues, with e-waste like vapes now common in collected rubbish.
