Clean Up Australia Day was Sunday 5 March, and Moorabool Shire Council has thanked the many local groups and individuals who rolled up their sleeves to keep Moorabool beautiful.<\/p>\n
Illegally dumped litter costs ratepayers roughly $80,000 a year to clean up, so Council was happy to partner up with the Friends groups around the Shire, collecting almost 100 bags of waste and recycling collected by volunteer groups.<\/p>\n
The most commonly littered items found on Clean Up Australia Day this year were takeaway and beverage containers, face masks, plastic bags, car tyres, and furniture. <\/p>\n
Council gave a special thank you to the Friends of Hopetoun Park & Parwan Gorge, Friends of Werribee Gorge & Long Forest Mallee, the Rotary Club of Bacchus Marsh, and the Bacchus Marsh Lions Club, for their hard work cleaning up Moorabool Shire this year.<\/p>\n
If you see someone littering or dumping rubbish on nature strips, parks and reserves, or local roads, you can report it to Council at my.moorabool.vic.gov.au\/do-it-online.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
