Weddin Shire Council voted to install a recycling station in the village after receiving the tabling of a report at its August meeting.
In a report to the meeting, Acting Director of Environmental Services, Allan Lindsay, said Weddin Shire Council had recently received complaints in regard to the state of the Bumbaldry Bus Interchange and the rubbish bin on the top of Broula Hill.
The site is located on Council's border with Cowra Shire Council.
"In consultation with Council's Director of Engineering, it is proposed to install a recycling station in the Bumbaldry Precinct to hopefully alleviate the problem of littering in the area and overfilling of the Council waste bins," Mr Lindsay said.
Council will install the recycling station after consultation with Bumbaldry residents.
Mr Lindsay said this would occur to determine a suitable site for the proposed recycling station.
"Council's garbage truck driver will be able to collect the recycling bins on his run from Greenethorpe to Cowra Shire Council's recycling facility," Mr Lindsay said.
Council staff have made an application to the NSW Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Clean Up and Prevention Program Round Seven for funding to install cameras at the site to assist in apprehending persons misusing the area.
The vote took place at Weddin Shire Council's August meeting held on August 20.
