Ararat Rural City Council is calling for volunteers to help tidy up their patch of the country by taking part in Clean Up Australia Day on March 1.
Chief executive Tim Harrison said the council, through its Parks and Gardens team, co-ordinated annual Clean Up Australia Day efforts.
He said the team was passionate about providing a clean, natural environment for the community to enjoy. He said the council supplied gloves and rubbish bags for volunteers, who could register from 8am at Ararat and Grampians Visitor Information Centre, 91 High Street in Ararat.
The clean-up effort will finish about noon.
