Regional Litter Programs
The Barwon Regional Waste Management Group co-ordinates regional litter programs across all four member Councils with support from a range of stakeholders.
Aussie Tossers Hit Barwon Beaches Working with K-Rock radio station the Barwon Region is taking the Don't Be A Tosser message to local beaches encouraging locals and visitors to put their rubbish in the bin.
Look out for the K-Rock bumper sticker promoting the report litterers hotline- and remember your call could stop a litterer.

Programs are focussed on cigarette butt and roadside litter and are designed to:
- Reduce the amount of littered items in the Barwon region
- Raise awareness of the local and passing tourist community of the negative impacts of litter
- Raise awareness of how the stormwater system carries litter to our wetlands
The key messages are:
- Our World Our Home Do The Right Thing
- Information on regional impacts of litter
- Personal responsibility for appropriate disposal of waste
- Associated fines and promotion of the report litterers hotline
- Information on how the stormwater system carries litter to our wetlands
