Wyndham councillors Marcel Mafhoud and Robert Szatkowski got their hands dirty earlier this week, joining council staff for the third clean-up blitz of 2023.

Organised by the Council Waste Education Team, four trucks carrying the councillors, council staff, litter crews and local laws officers took to the streets of Hoppers Crossing on Wednesday morning.

Targeting the area around Bellbridge Drive, the crews picked up abandoned white goods, furniture and general dumped rubbish.

Along with removing waste, the crews spoke to local residents about the importance of organising hard rubbish collections rather than simply dumping unwanted goods on their nature strips.

Wyndham households are offered three free hard and green waste collection services each financial year.
