Illegal Dumping Campaign

Maitland City Council is working with other Councils of the Hunter and Central Coast Region to protect our bushland, parks and urban centres from illegal dumping.

Illegal dumping:-

• Pollutes our environment
• Creates an eyesore
• Lowers community pride
• Is a potential fire hazard
• Attracts other illegal behaviour
• Is a health and safety hazard
• Increases the spread of weeds and pests
• Costs Councils and the community money

Council encourages residents to make use of the many waste and recycling services on offer.

Help Council catch illegal dumpers by "Dobbing in a Dumper".  You can report illegal dumping incidents to Council on (02) 4934 9700, by providing information such as the time of day, registration number of the car, description of the person and any other informaton that would help identify the offender.
