Help keep our public spaces clean
We often create a significant amount of waste while enjoying public spaces, such as parks and beaches. Here are some tips you can follow to help us keep our public spaces clean:
- Put garbage in bins
- Recycle whenever possible
- Don't flick cigarette butts
- Pick up after your dog
- If you can't find a trash can, take your litter with you
Recycling in public spaces
We are involved in a public space recycling pilot project to reduce the amount of garbage and help reach our 65 per cent waste diversion targets. You can now find recycling bins throughout downtown and outside City Hall and Market Square.
