Reporting Illegal Dumping
Illegal dumping is the disposal of rubbish and waste in areas other than approved management facilities. The illegal dumping of rubbish and waste in public reserves, bushland areas, vacant lots and on roadside verges creates a major problem for Councils and our communities.
If you see someone illegally dumping or acting suspiciously, note the time of day, registration number, make, model and colour of the car. A description of the person may help.
Report illegal dumping by contacting us on 4221 6111 or filling out our online form.
