IT was a terrific turn out for Clean Up Australia Day in Withcott - with members of the community both young and old lending a hand.

More than 30 volunteers, including the Withcott Cub Scouts and Withcott Rural Fire Brigade members, gave up their Sunday morning to help clean up their idyllic region.

Clean Up Australia Day Withcott site supervisor Janice Holstein said the group collected about 20 wheelie bins worth of rubbish on the day as well as several tyres.

The groups cleaned a section of the Toowoomba Range, the Warrego Highway and also along Blanchview Road.

Ms Holstein said a lot of the rubbish the group was collecting wasn't just food wrappers and cans but a lot of item falling from the back of trucks and utes.

She said the amount of rubbish was similar to last year's clean up day.

"But it's no worse - which is a good thing,” Ms Holstein said.

Ms Holstein issued a big thank you to Roadtek traffic management who closed down the left hand lane of the Toowoomba Range while the groups worked to clean up the roadside.

She also made special mention of Gatton Police officer-in-charge senior sergeant Roland Browne who was also on site to keep the cleaners safe, and the Withcott Hotel.
