24.01.2022 Key Focus Area - Elimination of Rubbish Dumping in Reserves, Parks and Forests Seeing rubbish dumped at Reserves, Parks and Forests is frustrating. Unfortunately, it is the minority that ruins it for the majority.... Each year I collect trailer loads of rubbish dumped from these locations and dispose of it. I'll be advocating for a proactive solution to this issue. (fines don't work) My initial ideas include but are not limited too: Tip vouchers for each household Tip vouchers for those who need some financial support. Green waste bins Hard rubbish days What ideas do you have? Comment below #forwardwego Authorised by: Michael Carr, 2B Hurd st Portland
