Illegal dumping

Nobody likes illegal dumping.

Dumping household or commercial materials on a road, verge or park is an illegal activity and fines of up to $5,000 can apply. 

Many people dump rubbish illegally because they think it is cheaper than taking it to a waste management facility, but it can actually cost you much more.

Illegal dumping has a negative impact on property values and can be an environmental threat and fire risk.

This type of dumping costs Council more than $100,000 per year and ultimately results in the community paying higher rates to fund the collection and disposal of this rubbish.
