Dumped car cut for carrying

A car which had been dumped in bushland near Woy Woy had to be cut up before being carried from a Clean Up Australia Day site, according to Gosford Council media officer Ms Marion Newall.

Ms Newall said that about 600 volunteers collected 20 tonnes of rubbish at a record 70 Gosford local government area sites during the recent Clean Up Australia Day campaign.

The previous record was the clean up of 50 sites in 2004.

A council representative said seven trucks were 'hard pressed" to clear the volume of rubbish collected by volunteers.

"An abandoned car, as well as many shopping trolleys and push bikes were amongst the larger items collected on the day," Ms Newall said.
