LITTERTHONS
In an effort to keep the Shire litter free, the Ranger Services provides a Litter Control Service. The service includes organising the Clean-Up Australia Day Programme and the Tidy Town Awards.

If you are involved with a Community Group that wishes to fund raise, the Ranger Services can help by giving you a roadside to clean, issuing collection bags and sponsoring $4.00 for every bag of litter collected. Please contact the Ranger Services on 9186 8528 for further information if you wish to participate in this Scheme. Ranger Services carries out Education Programmes on littering and the dangers it poses to the environment.
