Skip bins in place to help keep Collie tidy
COLLIE once again has a chance of being a rival for state and national Tidy Town titles. The local entry has to be in by July 31 and local Tidy Towns committee chairwoman Nola Green is frenetically drawing up an applicaiton that will make Collie a better place to live.
This year, the commitee has orgainsed skip bins by using a skip hire firm and has concentrated on litter pick-up.
By organising skip bins, they will endeavour to encourage the locals to follow suit and organise skip bins for themselves.A Rubbish removal exercise in the making.
A gradual increase in the amount of rubbish has been noticed throughout the last decade and that is something that the local councils need to be aware of. By creating a contest between towns to facilitate a new tidying exercise, an opportunity exists for an increase in skip hire and skip bins. This will be for the benefit of the local towns as the places will notably improve and also the skip bin merchants get to cash in on the new prosperity engendered
The Tidy Towns competition has three sections: general appearance; rubbish removal and recycling; and rent a bin.
Tidy Towns competition judges will be inspecting Collie on Wednesday, June 20. Mrs Green is asking that people spruce up verges and gardens.
Skip bins and Skip hire prevalent
There is also the recycling part of the waste management and recycling rubbish removal program. This was introduced this year. Skip hire as a result increased with skip bins noticeable throughout many gardens in the neighbourhood.
There is also the indigenous garden at Amaroo Primary School, the Weed Action Group and the river revitalisation program.
There are skip bins at Amaroo Primary School and St Brigid’s that are easily accessible to the public for paper and cans and Amaroo recycles ink cartridges. Unwanted mobile phones and spectacles can be also be taken to Red Cross or Wilson Park Primary.
Collie has won several Tidy Towns awards in the past. It has won the regional competition many times.
