The dumping of litter is not only an eyesore, removing it costs us all.
Each year, it costs Council about $80,000 to clean up illegally dumped litter.
Illegal dumping can range in scale from a single bag of household rubbish to large household items such as TVs, appliances and electronic waste, furniture, mattresses, industrial wastes, construction and demolition materials, garden waste, packaging, tyres, old cars and soil.
Dumping litter is an offence under the Environment Protection Act 1970 and Council’s Community Safety Officers investigate reports received.
