This comes after a rise in the number of people illegally dumping large items in public bins rather than paying to dispose of them at authorised waste depots.
The hotspots are Kulpara, Bute and Tickera.
Examples of waste being disposed of in public bins across the district include baling twine, car floor mats, engine oil, personal belongings, a bucket of concrete, small hard waste items, blankets, pillows, syringes, tyres, mattresses and timber.
Disturbingly, some people also have dumped unwanted animals still alive in public bins.
As a result of the rise in illegal dumping, Council staff are now having to manually empty public bins at least three times a fortnight and in some cases four times a week, at considerable cost to ratepayers.
Barunga West Council CEO, Maree Wauchope, said education stickers on bins warning of the risk of prosecution has not been a deterrent.
“Council spends a significant amount of time, effort and money cleaning up and disposing of waste illegally dumped in public bins or on the side of the road,” Ms Wauchope said.
“Public bins that are constantly used for household and business waste in locations like car parks where it is easy to abuse the bins, will now be removed.”
In Alford, a street bin by the RV Park and post office will be removed; in Bute, public bins near the hotel and skate park will be removed; in Fisherman Bay, a bin will be removed from the eastern playground near the car park; in Kulpara, public bins will be removed from the main street, toilet and hall shelter; in Port Broughton, public bins will be removed from the petrol station, Sunny Side Motel, Port Broughton Hotel and post office; and in Tickera, public bins will be removed from the post office and boat ramp.
Council will continue to closely monitor any illegal dumping.
