Rugby league team, the Bulldogs, has teamed up with City of Canterbury Bankstown to take a stand against illegal dumping and to encourage residents to book in a bulky waste clean-up.

The video campaign, which features captain Matt Burton, star-player Tevita Pangai Junior and up-and-comer Jacob Kiraz, was launched last week at the club’s home game against the Brisbane Broncos, at Belmore.

Mayor Bilal El-Hayek, who is a proud Bulldogs supporter, said he wants to sin bin dumpers and ensure we can be proud of our City.

“It’s simple, keeping our streets clean is everyone’s responsibility,” Mayor Bilal El-Hayek said.

“Doing the right thing and booking a bulky waste clean-up instead of dumping your rubbish is the absolute minimum.”

“It’s a team effort, we should all do our part to look after our City, so we’re proud to be working together to help show residents how easy it is.”

Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs CEO Aaron Warburton also agreed that tackling community issues together was an important goal for the team.

“We’re in a position to be role models for the community who we show up for and play for every week,” Mr Warburton said.

“One of the pillars of our team is using rugby league to spread awareness and education around issues that matter to our community, and this clean-up campaign has been the perfect opportunity to do just that.

“We want all residents to help us kick illegal dumping to the kerb by booking a bulky waste clean-up. Together, we can work towards a cleaner Canterbury-Bankstown.”

Residents who live in a house, townhouse or building with five or less units get two free bulky waste clean-ups per calendar year.

If you live in a building with over six units, contact your strata representative or residents committee to book your next clean-up.
