Campaspe Shire Council is offering waste skips across the municipality to collect Easter campers’ waste.
Four waste skip bins will be placed around popular camping towns in Campaspe to reduce littering and provide easy waste disposal for campers.
Mayor, Cr Rob Amos said the skips are a convenient way for campers to dispose of their waste and are environmentally friendly at the same time.
“It’s important that Council provide skip bins for campers to make waste disposal while camping easy and encourage tourists to help keep our public spaces, bushlands and waterways free of litter.
“The skips will be placed at the following sites:
- Echuca East Boat Ramp
- Victoria Park, Echuca
- Torrumbarry Roadhouse
- Gunbower Recreation Reserve
“If the skips are full, campers can dispose of their bagged waste and recyclables at one of Council’s Resource Recovery Centres around the shire.
“These skips are for campers’ waste only, in an effort to keep our environment clean from litter. To ensure ongoing capacity for campers, these skips are not for residential waste.
“Thank you for not leaving your waste on the ground next to the skips and for helping keep Campaspe clean and free of litter,” Cr Amos said.
Resource Recovery Centre locations and opening hours can be found on Council’s website.
