NYNGAN WASTE FACILITY - COVER YOUR LOAD
Dry conditions and a lack of grass growth have revealed an untidy amount of rubbish along the verges of Canonba Road between town and the Nyngan Waste Facility. Council would like to remind residents when taking rubbish to the Facility so we can keep our town and its approaches looking tidy. Objects falling or blowing from vehicles can quickly become dangerous projectiles, causing serious accidents or road hazards to other drivers and pedestrians. The unsightly litter that accumulates along all of our roadsides, due to objects blown or falling out of vehicles, can be made worse by other vehicles running over them.
REPORT ILLEGAL DUMPING
The NSW Environmental Protection Agency has set up an online portal for people across NSW to report illegal dumping of rubbish. To report dumping visit www.ridonline.epa.nsw.gov.au and upload a picture of the dumped waste. You can provide the address of the incident using the GPS on your device or select the location on the provided map. When you report via RIDonline, Bogan Shire Council is sent an email alert about the incident so we can respond. To follow up on a report, call Council on 6835 9000 or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
Importantly, if you discover obviously dangerous waste, such as that omitting toxic fumes or spilt chemicals you should call 000 and report it immediately.
NEXT COUNCIL MEETING
The next ordinary meeting of Council will be held on Thursday 28 August at 7.00pm. Members of the public are welcome to sit in the visitor gallery at Council meetings (with the exception of during confidential time).
