Council works with communities across the Western Bay to keep the district clean and green.
Where we can we encourage residents and visitors to the Western Bay to reduce, reuse and recycle.  In doing so our aim is to ensure that current and future generations benefit and enjoy the unique flora and fauna of the Western Bay.
