AS A person who has lived here for seven years, I know it is probably still too soon to call myself a local but I feel very comfortable in calling myself a good judge of cleanliness.

The convenience of ‘free’ Information Bay bins being used by some locals as a daily dump on the way to work is leaving genuine travellers passing through with no room for their rubbish.
Full bins eventually spill out and rubbish gets blown into our fragile waterways.
Today I found a pile of cigarette butts tipped out of a car ashtray onto the ground only metres from a bin.
I hope we can pull together as a community to help re-create the “tidy town” image we once had.
The effort that one GW does on a weekly basis to keep this town clean has been highlighted during his recent absence – get well soon mate.
On the flip side, the amount of damage that a bunch of SC’s can do to this town’s ecosystems and reputation in a couple of months is staggering.
Keep it clean Toodyay.
