Thinking of lighting up or dropping that cigarette on a Byron Shire beach? Think again!
Council’s ‘litter enforcement blitz’ on Byron’s beaches and foreshore areas is on until mid-March as a part of the ongoing Butt Free Byron Shire campaign, thanks to funding from the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA).
Fines of up to $250 will be issued to offenders caught littering or smoking on the beaches in a bid to cut down cigarette butt and ALL litter.
During patrols, Council rangers will be educating the public on the importance of correct waste disposal and the impacts of litter on our community and environment.
