Illegal Dumping
Dumped material damages the environment and can harm wildlife and native flora.
Council will always try to identify the person responsible or the site from which the material came.
If you see someone dumping material in reserves, back streets or our bushland areas note the registration of the vehicle and report it to Council. Any dumped material should be reported whether the person responsible is known or not so that Council can take action to see to its removal.
Any person wishing to report illegal dumping should contact Council on 9970 1111 or pittwater_council@pittwater.nsw.gov.au
Did you know you can be fined or prosecuted for transporting waste to a place that cannot legally accept it?
Our legal waste facilities are Kimbriki Resource Recovery Centre at Terry Hills www.kimbriki.com.au and SITA at Belrose www.wsn.com.au. Please check beforehand which facility can take your load of waste materials. Penalties of up to $250,000 apply for illegally dumped waste.
