SIGNING ON

By TESSA RANDELLO

The latest: The new sign, which owner Tony Di Fresco says was installed on July 15, with an added directive for customers of the business.

LATROBE City Council signs warning against the dumping of rubbish at a Morwell scrap metal yard have been replaced. It comes in the wake of community members raising concerns about the ambiguity of the signs at Sledge Hammer Metals, with multiple visitors to the yard also receiving fines for depositing scrap metal.

Sledge Hammer Metals owner Tony Di Fresco said he noticed the signs, initially erected about two months ago, had been replaced on July 15. The new signs, he said, are “about four times bigger”, and included the installation of an additional sign. A new directive has been added, which reads: “it is illegal to leave scrap metals or any other materials on the road, nature strip, curb and channel or other public land”.
