Cover and Secure Your Waste

Last modified: October 26, 2009 - 12:47 AM

In an effort to reduce roadside litter and improve road safety, Council is asking residents to cover all loads when taking rubbish to the landfill site.

The only safe and reliable way to transport rubbish in trailers, trucks or utes is to properly secure your load under a tarp. The tarp must be secured tightly with rope so that materials are not lost or fall out.

State law requires that all loads be covered and secured properly to prevent loss of materials. Drivers can be fined $388.00 on the spot, if their load is uncovered and not secure.

So a friendly reminder to all residents, please 'cover your load' and help us to protect health and safety and ensure a clean and tidy community by covering your load.

For any further information please contact Warren Shire Council's Manager Health and Development Services, Mrs Maryanne Stephens on 6847 6600.
