It is illegal to place rubbish on the street that is not in a bin or booked in for collection. Council Rangers investigate dumped rubbish and offenders may be issued penalty infringement notices for up to $1500. Mobile surveillance cameras are randomly moved to different locations across the Municipality to assist Council's investigations.

Council seeks your assistance in reporting illegal dumping to Council on (02) 9716 1800.
