Illegal Dumping

Our Rangers are required to ensure that the provisions of the Litter Act are complied with to maintain the cleanliness of the Shire.

Rangers respond to reports of illegal dumping of rubbish or littering and may impose on-the-spot fines for breaches of the Litter Act.

Illegal dumping and littering costs us significantly each year, both environmentally and financially.
