It was great to see an unprecedented level of picnicking over the weekend, and people safely enjoying the parklands with the easing of restrictions. However, this also led to an unprecedented increase in rubbish being left behind.
We provide waste facilities for park visitors which are emptied each day, including weekends. This is increased at peak times, particularly with the onset of spring and during school holidays.
Additional collections have been organised at key locations, for the remainder of the car free weekends, and staff will also monitor the situation and provide additional resources as needed.
All visitors to Centennial Parklands are asked to dispose of their rubbish responsibly in the waste stations provided or, if the bins are full, take their rubbish with them.
