We need someassistance from our South Ward Councillors (Penrith Council)in providing a solution to the dumping of rubbish, household items, mattresses, car doors etc at the red charity bins located near the Community Centre at Glenmore Park Shopping Centre. This bin is for clothing items only but is being used as a dumping ground for other household items. We need solutions on how the dumping of these items can be stopped. More regular collections are assisting but there needs to be a deterrent in place to stop the dumping in the first place.

Due to some recent contact by local residents, there seem to have been more regular pick-ups from the clothing bins however they are still constantly overflowing with items including regular household items that are not specifically clothing. Recent examples have been mattresses, car doors, upright fans and televisions - some of which are left out in the weather so are of no use to anybody intended for. Some larger signs advising of what can and can't be left at the bins may be an option to deter the dumping or alternatively CCTV cameras may have excellent results. There needs to be a better solution to what is currently in place as residents have had enough of the constant eyesore. If you agree with the above please sign the petition which will be submitted to the South Ward Councillors for assistance. If you see any further issues with the bins, please provide photos to Melissa Mitchell by email: gmmitch@bigpond.net.au or if you have any other solutions. Thank you for taking the time to read this petition.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
