Mr Eltringham said Horsham Tidy Towns got involved with Clean Up Australia Day in 2019.
"It was so successful as a result the committee then went on to do a regular event," he said
"The first Monday of the month we do a clean up, particularly at the highway wayside stops because Rural Roads removed the wayside bins. We've been trying to get the council to bring those bins back."
Mr Eltringham said anyone can get involved in Sunday's Clean Up Australia Day event and that it's important to take care of your home town.
"Horsham has so much to offer as a lifestyle," he said.
"We are really really active to make sure that graffiti is not allowed to foster, is not allowed to grow. Those sort of things just indicate a community that has real social issues.
"None of us want to live in an area which is dirty and untidy and it's up to everybody in the community and all relevant agencies to make an effort to make sure that Horsham is kept clean, tidy and presentable."
