Collie was once referred to as a "dirty mining town",[3] but on April 8, 2006, it won the Australian Tidy Towns Competition from finalists from six States and the Northern Territory. [4] Collie was named the top Tidy Town because of the commitment of the community to recycling, waste management, beautification and community projects.
