Clean-up cure for dumping

Strathfield Council are kicking into clean-up gear for Clean-Up Australia Day

 

Clean Up Australia Day’s been around for 21 years, and some have questioned its relevance. But if anyone needs proof that Clean Up Australia Day is still important in 2011, they only have to go on patrol with Strathfield Council’s rangers.

Old mattresses, abandoned cars, rotting garbage and discarded fridges and cookers are just some of the items regularly being dumped on the streets of Greenacre and Belfield.

Asbestos, now regarded as a major danger, 
is another regular – and disturbing – find.
