Illegal Dumping

Dumping is leaving any unwanted waste (including rubbish, furniture, electrical goods, mattresses and garden waste) onto both public and private land. It is illegal, and anyone caught dumping can be fined between $750 and $1500 on the spot.

Every year, Council offers free clean up services: two general clean ups, one white goods and metals clean up, and one garden waste clean up. You can also organise an on call clean up if you can't wait until your next free scheduled clean up.

See the A-Z of Recycling for other ways you can responsibly dispose of many different types of unwanted goods, including mattresses, timber and solvents.

Our community as a whole needs to work together to keep our streets neat and tidy, as well as ensuring that as much as possible is recycled.

Council staff will be actively investigating any illegal dumping that occurs in the area.

The Office of Environment and Heritage has more information about dumping.

L’abbandono di rifiuti è un atto illecito e rovina l’ambiente.
L’abbandono di articoli di scarto domestici è un atto illecito ed è punibile con multe di importo fino a $750. Il materiale abusivamente abbandonato presso questo immobile è ora oggetto di indagini. Invece di abbandonarlo qui, il proprietario avrebbe dovuto chiamare il Comune per informazioni sui servizi di raccolta.
