David Horner, Ocean Shores

I live in Ocean Shores. Every Tuesday our homes are subjected to the dumping of large rolls of advertising material in our driveways and/or on our nature strips. Most of this rubbish is ignored by residents and left rotting where it was thrown days later.

This is environmental vandalism. Who is responsible for distributing this rubbish? Can Council do anything to ban the practice?

  1. Can council do anything?
    That is the question David.
    But seriously it is a joke isn’t it, why are we still force fed this crap, there are electronic means of delivering this garbage to people if they want it.

  2. Just so you know our family like them/use and I know many others that do also. Are you also accusing the Echo of environmental vandalism for the exact same thing?
