Litter is a key issue for the Central Coast community. Everybody is responsible for playing a part in helping to Keep the Coast Clean, including residents, tourists, visitors and businesses. 

• Put it in the bin; don’t leave your rubbish lying around, please put it in the bin!
• Opt for reusable; carry reusable coffee cups, drink bottles, straws, ashtrays/butt bins, shopping bags or any other reusable item that you would use regularly
• Say no to receipts; if you don’t need your receipt (or if you can receive it digitally), say ‘no thanks’ to receiving a physical receipt
• Carry a portable and reusable tidy bag with you – these can attach to your backpack, your handbag, picnic basket or the headrest in your car
• Bag it and bin it; carry tidy bags on your lead when taking your furry friend for a walk, so you can easily clean up their business and bin it
• Show your support by using #KeeptheCoastClean when using your reusable items 
• If you see someone littering. Report it at: epa.nsw.gov.au/reporttoepa

Some of the highest littered items on the Central Coast include coffee cups, takeaway packaging, cigarette butts and small plastics such as confectionary wrappers.
