Help stamp out littering – report littering from vehicles

Roadside litter is one of the most unnecessary and preventable environmental problems. Reporting littering from vehicles helps to raise awareness, reduce clean-up costs and keep NSW clean. Fines for littering are $250 for an individual or $500 for a corporation.

Members of the public can now make a report to the EPA if they witness littering from a vehicle.

Reports can be made through either:
• Online Reporting Portal – Log in to the portal to make a report about littering from vehicles.
• ‘Report to EPA’ mobile app - Quickly and easily report pollution incidents you observe, including: littering from vehicles, smoky vehicles, and noisy exhaust.

For more information visit www.epa.nsw.gov.au/litter/from-vehicle.

If you haven’t already noticed, Toronto Tidy Towns, with the assistance of LMCC, has installed 4 new picnic table and chair sets in Regatta Walk Park. This was possible through the Stronger Communities Program, a Commonwealth Government grant that Tidy Towns was successful in obtaining. We are sure that these will be enjoyed by our local community and our visitors.

A big thank you to Toronto Rotary, Rotary Sunrise, Lions, Toronto Diggers and Toronto Workers for financially supporting our project to install 4 table and chair sets in Regatta Walk Park Toronto. At present there is only one set which is just not enough. We are sure these will be a great addition and will be very well used by our community. Thank you also to LMCC who have agreed to install at no charge and coordinate and manage the project. The sets will be installed within the next few months. Great community support!

Are you looking for a soft option?
If you don’t shop at Coles then you may not realize that they have something none of the other supermarkets have…a recycling system for soft plastics.

The REDcycle bin collects all the soft plastics that you can’t put in the yellow bin such as bread bags, biscuit packets, frozen food bags, rice and pasta bags, confectionery packets, newspaper wrap, plastic shopping bags and old green bags

The processed materials get converted into outdoor furniture and signage for schools and communities by program partner Replas. It works likes this:

1. YOU COLLECT - Collect all the soft plastics that you can't recycle at home:

2. YOU DROP - Drop them into the REDcycle collection bin at Toronto Coles

3. REDcycle RECYCLES - Your packaging gets recycled into outdoor furniture for schools and communities.
