11. Print flyers and distribute (i.e. letter box drop) to any residents in this Municipality, and any others residents in other Municipalities who are part owners of the tip site i.e. Clarence, Tasman and Kingborough. Share flyers, information etc with your colleagues, friends, families, businesses – We need to keep getting the word out as many are still sticking their heads in the sand or just not aware!
