Rubbish rubbish everywhere...

Rubbish overflows on East Esplanade. Photo sourced from Manly Daily.
Residents were repulsed by the overflow of rubbish in public spaces following the Cole Classic on Sunday 5th Feb.

Large numbers of attendees were to blame, as well as a lack of easily accessible bins and neglect in rubbish collection. Over 10, 000 competitors, support crews and visitors participated in the Cole Classic, which was complemented by fine weather.

Embarrassingly, the Manly Daily dubbed Shelly Beach “Smelly beach”.

These concerns are raised in the light of popular events staged in Manly that attract large crowds, such as New Year’s Eve and the Australian Open of Surfing.

The overflow of rubbish also highlights the lack of cigarette receptors attached to the bins, encouraging smokers to simply ‘butt out’ on the ground or worse – in the harbour – putting marine life at risk.

Is it the council’s responsibility to properly address rubbish disposal, or is it more a matter of personal responsibility?

Despite the influx of visitors surrounding the Cole Classic and other major events, residents are calling for more bins and frequent rubbish disposal to help keep our community spik and span.

Concern has also been raised by the installation of bins that block the harbour view from a popular restaurant along East Esplanade Reserve.

Hi Candy,
Just to let you know I took this photo at about 7pm on Sunday (5th Feb 2012) evening at East Esp. I originally took pictures of all the bins to accompany a letter to the Directors of Westfarmers and Woolworths Ltd to demonstrate the need for a Container Deposit Scheme. The majority of the rubbish in the bins along East Esp is glass and plastic bottles, orginating from Liquorland or one of the other local outlets in Manly. All these bottle should be returned to the retailers for reuse and recycling. In Canada a beer bottle is used (recycled by the brewer via the retailer) on average 12 times. Just placing all the 'empties' next to the public place bin is not 'recycling'. All the public place bins from Manly LGA are collected and sent to the MRF (Mechanical recycling Facility at Chullora). The bottles are broken and the glass is then seperated out for use in road base. But this is not the most cost effect and best use of a valuable resource.You would appreciate that regular disposal of this volume and weight of glass and plastic bottles is increasing along with a commensurate increase cost of to ratepayers. It should not be the responsibility of Council to continually bare the increased cost of waste disposal because the Corporate world refuses to adopt ways to reduce waste in their supply chain and the public thinks its ok to just pile up their empties and picnic litter in a plastic bag next to a full bin on the beautiful harbour Foreshore without thinking about the consequenses of such actions.

It was most captivating when you shared that the overflow of rubbish can put marine life at risk. My friend wants to remove their rubbish. I should advise him to hire a rubbish removal service to ensure proper disposal.

Thank you, Councillor Cathy Griffin, for shedding light on the issue of rubbish disposal in Manly. Your photo clearly demonstrates the need for a Container Deposit Scheme and the importance of retailers taking responsibility for recycling. It's crucial for both the corporate world and the public to recognize the consequences of neglecting waste reduction, and support initiatives like the Boomerang Alliance to address this pressing issue.

Thank you for sharing this article. I agree that organizations must be held accountable if they engage in illegal activities. If the allegations against this Catholic charity are true, it’s essential for authorities to investigate thoroughly and take appropriate action. Upholding the rule of law is vital, especially when it comes to matters of national security and public trust.
