DON'T WASTE TOWNSVILLE

Townsville is a vibrant city but litter clogging our streets is aesthetically displeasing and is a danger to our natural environment as well as placing a significant cost burden onto our community.

The “Don’t Waste Townsville” strategy encompasses three prime functions:-

• To produce a blueprint for the co-ordination of litter management resources across Council
• To change the culture of the Townsville community through a comprehensive promotional and educational campaign on litter management
• To provide a model strategy suitable for adoption on a local, regional and state-wide basis.

The Townsville City Council has called upon a number of resources to ensure this occurs. They include

• Television commercials
• Identilite signs
• Billboard
• Litter Strategy (.pdf 211Kb)
• Litter Bins
• Public Place Recycling
• Event recycling

All these resources have been used in the following ways to promote different aspects of litter management in the Townsville region.

• Don't Waste Murray
• Don't Waste Magnetic Island

• Don't Waste Our Strand

Townsville City Council have been successful in winning a number of litter management related awards, they include:

• RACQ Ergon Energy Tidy Towns Regional Award Winner
• RACQ Ergon Energy Tidy Towns State Award Winner
