From a young age, everyone was taught not to litter. Exposure to images of polluted water and animals trapped in plastic bags continuously drive home that littering is bad for us and the environment.
But it is not just littering that can cause serious harm to our Geelong community. While littering has immediate negative effects, improper rubbish removal and waste management have lasting negative effects that affect us every day in ways that we can’t see.
When it comes to disposing of rubbish, it is important to do it properly- and that doesn’t mean simply throwing it in the bin and moving on with your day.
When you hire a skip bin with GTown Skips, you can be assured that your rubbish will be sorted and disposed of properly. Without responsible rubbish disposal, toxic wastes and large amounts of rubbish are left to infiltrate the environment and cause issues in places they do not belong.
Improper rubbish removal applies to recyclables placed in the wrong category to toxic waste mixed in with everyday rubbish and while some instances seem worse than others, each contributes negatively to the environment and our community.
Here are some ways improper rubbish removal can have a negative impact:
-
Negatively impacts our animals and marine life
-
Decrease the value of Geelong
-
Negatively impact the community health
-
Environment contamination
