BEFORE DISPOSING OF YOUR GOODS
CHARITY SHOPS
ARE A GREAT WAY
OF RE-PURPOSING
YOUR UNWANTED
GOODS!
Remember that charity shops can only sell goods
that are in good condition and working order.
Do not leave items outside a closed charity shop
or beside a full charity bin as this could be seen as
illegal dumping.

If you see dumped rubbish or somebody dumping
material, contact us on 1300 368 333 or
Environmental Protection Authority Victoria (EPA) on
1300 372 842. Alternatively report litter online.

EVERY PIECE OF LITTER HAS AN IMPACT
1 DO YOUR BIT - Put your cigarette butts in the bin instead of on
the ground
2 KEEP THE LID DOWN - overfull bins cause litter in our streets and
allow animals access to the waste
3 KEEP YOUR LOAD OFF THE ROAD - Cover your trailer
4 USE A RUBBISH BAG - in your vehicle
5 BE A RESPONSIBLE PET OWNER - Pick up after your pet
