That’s a load of rubbish

Almost 140 cubic metres of litter and debris was pulled out of Docklands waterways over the past year.

According to the City of Melbourne’s 2012 – 2013 Docklands Place Management Report, an average of 12.5 cubic metres of rubbish was collected each month between July and December last year.

Some 60 cubic metres of litter and debris was collected between January and July this year.

About 40 tonnes from a storm in June choked Yarra’s Edge with litter (pictured above).
