Alpine Shire Council is aware that there has been a heightened amount of household waste being disposed of in public waste bins. Council is proudly working with SSX Group to deliver cleaning services across the region. However, while SSX has been working hard to ensure the cleanliness of public amenities, the amount of illegal dumping is having adverse effect on their cleaning schedules. The public amenities provided across the Alpine Shire are to be used for public waste only and are not to be used for household waste or any other items, including waste derived from holidays. Alpine Shire Mayor, Cr John Forsyth, encouraged the community to work together to keep public spaces clean. "The SSX team are doing their absolute best in the face of ongoing illegal dumping," Cr Forsyth said. "Staff are facing a persistent problem that is making it very challenging for them to complete their day-to-day duties." All public amenities across the Alpine Shire have signage to encourage reporting of cleaning and waste issues.
