Your say on bulky
rubbish removal
Northern Beaches Council
is turning to ratepayers to
help solve the problem of
inconsistencies in ‘bulky
goods’ collection it inherited
after amalgamation last May.
It’s understood community
frustration had highlighted
the inconsistent service
delivery currently in place.
Currently there is an on-call
(twice yearly) system operating
in the former Manly and
Pittwater areas and a scheduled
twice-yearly service in
the former Warringah area.
Council General Manager
Environment & Infrastructure
Ben Taylor said it was clear
from feedback that the community
wanted the service
made consistent. “So now we
are moving to formally seek
community input into the
review which will consider the
preferences of the community
and the environmental,
financial and service delivery
impacts of any proposed
changes,” he said. “Issues
include the visual impact of
the large volumes of waste we
sometimes see with scheduled
services, convenience of
use and ability to recycle and
re-use, as well as the environmental
and safety impacts
of illegal dumping, nuisance
rummaging and pedestrian
access.” Feedback at yoursay.
