The small stream that lies next to the fire station is threatened by piles of household waste that is dumped by unscrupulous residents.

“The waste ends up at the bird park and at the beaches. We aim to clean up inland first before it has a chance to end up at the beach,” said Ludwig.

She questioned why some residents fail to take out their waste on allocated days instead of discarding it improperly.

“If you missed the truck, you have an option of keeping your waste until the next allocated day. You don’t have to throw it in the bushes,” she said.
