Report Littering and Illegal Dumping

It is an offence to dump waste material unlawfully. Common illegally dumped items include household waste, garden waste, building waste, tyres and asbestos.

Littering and illegal dumping reduces visual amenity, pollutes the environment and some waste types can come with significant public health risks. Clean-up costs can be high and are generally borne by Shire ratepayers.

It is important to report any incidents of illegal dumping so that it can be investigated and stopped. When you report an incident, your details will remain confidential.
