In conjunction with Parks Victoria, Clean Up Australia and SITA Australia PMAV Bendigo, Ballarat and central Goldfields branches will have a Cleanup Our Parks day.
This event will take place on Saturday, November 22, starting at 10 am.
PMAV Bendigo branch president Lynnie Hindle said the initiative came as tip fees rose.
"We realise Parks Victoria don't have the resources to clean it up so we have decided to do the work ourselves," she said.
"With the ever increasing rise in tipping fees in the City of Greater Bendigo, the general public are using the illegal option of dumping rubbish in our national parks."
The groups will clean up areas around the Notley Camping ground in the Whipstick National Park and the Havelock Nature Reserve.
