Dandenong South received a spruce-up thanks to Clean up Australia Day volunteers.
Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams joined members of the Abbotts Road level crossing removal project team to scour nearby open spaces for rubbish on Friday 2 March.
Works are on track for the deadly crossing to be gone by early next year.
Clean Up Australia Day has run every year since 1990 and encourages Australians to volunteer a few hours of their time to clean up their local area and support the environment.
Volunteers have collected more than 344,000 tonnes of rubbish over the past 27 years.
