But over the course of the last weekend the local authority here said they collected 20 tonnes of rubbish from this beach. Well, let's talk to(?) the leader of city council here, Brat Jason KK(?). Jason, 20 tonnes seems an extraordinary amount to me, is that normal? It is, for some weekend, unfortunately. It costs us a great deal of money to collect it up. But we... take pride in our beach and we want to welcome visitors. But I would hope the people take responsibility of the rubbish, and would take a ... Put a lot, lots of bins on the weekends, particularly. And, unfortunately people aren’t use them always. You see just responsible behavior mean are there enough bins to help people enough? I think there are ... for anymore ... for people to lie down. There is an element of personal responsibility here. But also the suppliers need to think about how they package their goods. So we need to attack the problem at both ends.
I have problems with some sentences.
Is there anyone could help me to fill the blank areas and correct my mistakes? Thanks a lot.

I believe Anna has the right answers.
These words are mostly a part of commonly used expressions.
over the "course" of..
a great "deal" of...
take "pride" in...
welcome
take "responsibility" for ....
an "element" of....
package
at both "ends"...
