Addressing the litter problem at local bus shelters

Joy Cooper, a Labor candidate for election in the Budgewoi Ward in the upcoming local government election on September 14, is calling for a simple yet effective solution to the pervasive issue of litter at bus shelters in our community.

"It's a common sight to see rubbish scattered around bus shelters, creating an unsightly and unsanitary environment for commuters," Cooper said. "The lack of readily available bins contributes to this problem, as people often have nowhere to dispose of their waste.”

Waiting at a bus stop recently, Cooper said she realised first-hand the need for a bin at each bus stop. 

"Too often we see small bits of rubbish accumulation around bus  stops," Cooper said. "It is a well known fact that a little rubbish ‘breeds’ more rubbish and having bins at all bus stops will help to stop this cycle."

Cooper said she proposed that each bus stop across the Central Coast  be equipped with a nearby garbage bin to encourage responsible waste disposal. This initiative aims to reduce litter, improve the overall appearance of our streets, and create a more pleasant experience for residents and visitors.

"As a councillor with Central Coast Council, I will prioritise this issue and work diligently to ensure that every bus stop has a convenient bin for the public to use. By taking this small but proactive step, we can make a significant difference in keeping our region clean and beautiful."
