With gloves, bags and lots of energy the volunteers will pick up rubbish between 9.30am and 11.30am.
They will start on the corner of the Mt Lindesay Highway and Stockleigh Road and over five kilometres will pick up rubbish on the sides of the road.
Mosque secretary Ehsan Alvi said anyone in the community was welcome to come down on Sunday and register to take part in the clean up.
He said on the Clean Up Australia Day website the group was the top site nationwide for the most volunteers and one of the top 10 fundraisers.
"It is going to be a fantastic morning and with so many volunteers I'm sure we can pick up plenty of bags of rubbish," Mr Alvi said.
As well as the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association clean up event there are other clean up events in the Logan and Beaudesert areas on March 1.
