Illegal Dumping

If you see dumped items on the kerbside, in a park, reserve, the beach, or the bush, Council encourages you to report them via the Report Illegal Dumping (RID) online tool. This helps keep our community clean and safe.

Report illegal dumping in 3 easy steps:

1. Visit RidOnline on your smart phone, tablet or computer

2. Take a photo of the illegally dumped material

3. Add the location and description of the dump site.

This report is sent to the NSW Environment Protection Agency (EPA) and the relevant authority to investigate. Reporting can result in fines being issued to individuals for up to $7,500, and up to $15,000 for corporations.

If dumped waste poses an immediate environmental risk contact Council on 02 6648 4000. Environmental risks include hazardous materials, waterway pollution, or immediate risks to the health and safety of people and/or animals.
