English to Chinese Other Journalism
Combating dumpers
Over the next 12 months, Auburn Council will reduce illegal dumping and littering.

Council will carry out extra inspections of businesses, provide an ***extra free call up collection***, increase litter patrols and extend the 660 litre bin service in multi-unit dwellings.

Council collects 30 tonnes of illegally dumped rubbish a month, enough to cover three tennis courts to a depth of 30cm or to fill every room in a three bedroom house.

It costs the community $110,000 a year to remove and dispose of this dumped rubbish.

Thank you in advance!

It's really hard for me to make a choice and finally I decided to choose Ibone's answer, 增加免费的即呼即收服务, which is comparatively concise. I guess, according to the context, the readers can deduce that "呼”means "call up" and “收” stands for "collecting rubbish".
Thank you all for your kind help!
