15.01.2022 Illegal dumping trashes our beautiful escarpment and roadsides, and is pointless - much of it can be left for free at Council waste facilities. There’s on-the-s...pot fines of $2K for illegal dumping - $8K for businesses - and you have to pay to clean up the mess. If it ends up in court, you could be looking at a $250K fine and gaol time. CCTV is being used to track and prosecute offenders, along with drones to spot illegal dumping in hard-to-access areas. See how it's done in this video and find out how easy it is to report illegal dumping via https://ridonline.epa.nsw.gov.au Kiama Municipal Council Shoalhaven City Council Shellharbour City Council NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service

When clearing out your medicine cabinet collect all your unwanted or expired medication and return to your local pharmacy.

04.01.2022 #Strawssuck they are in the top 10 most found litter items. Every straw used will far out live the individual who drank from it, whether it is littered in the environment or disposed of in landfill. Do your bit - #refusesingleuse. Paper alternatives are good but reusable straws are great! They come in all shapes and sizes and are made from materials such as bamboo, stainless steel, glass and silicone. Our favourite is the stainless steel strawspoon! Have you made the switch?
