We investigate reports of illegally dumped rubbish in public spaces.

We do not investigate most cases of illegal dumping on private property. However if the dumping involves hazardous materials or is part of a repeated pattern in the area, we may look into it. This is decided case-by-case.

If you find dumped rubbish, don’t touch it or remove anything. This could disturb evidence that might help us work out who was responsible.

If you find dumped hazardous material like asbestos, chemicals, oil or fuel, call us as soon as possible on (02) 4227 7111.
