Council will host a final event promoting roadside litter awareness at The Rivermouth Store on Wednesday 29th March from 9.30am – 10.30am. Free trailer covers and litter bags will be on offer to tradies and drivers of utes and trailers who regularly transport items for disposal. Free coffee and morning tea will also be provided to the first 20 people registered at the event on the morning.
Hosted by Eurobodalla Shire Council with funding from the NSW Environment Protection Authority, the free breakfast is an opportunity to talk to people who regularly transport items for disposal - particularly building waste - about the importance of properly securing loads.
There’ll be free trailer covers on offer, too.Litter surveys reveal that common items found along targeted Eurobodalla roadsides were lightweight trade and building waste, such as polystyrene, plastic, foam and Gyprock.This litter is often unintentional and is wind-blown from poorly-secured ute, trailer and truck loads.
Meanwhile, Council and NSW Roads and Maritime Services staff will conduct clean-ups along target roads during the campaign and Council rangers will target littering from vehicles.Council encourages the community to report littering from vehicles by using the EPA’s reporting portal, available online and on mobile devices
