A pensioner on the state's south coast has won an inaugural Clean Up Australia award for his decades of work picking up litter. But Michael Filby isn't just collecting rubbish around his home town. The eighty year old travels hundreds of kilometres every week picking up trash on the South West highway doing a job no government department will take on. The task has cost him thousands of his pension dollars, but now there's hope of support from corporate donors.
