Illegal Dumping
The illegal dumping of waste poses a health and safety risk to all residents in the Maitland local government area. The dumping of waste in bushland, along roadsides and in river channels results in the environment becoming aesthetically unpleasing and has the potential to impact on the environment with chemicals able to leach into waterways, weeds able to escape into native bushland, and wildlife, birds and fish potentially becoming tangled in waste.
Should you observe someone dumping waste in an inappropriate location you are requested to “Dob In the Dumper” by contacting Council on 4934 9700 as soon as possible after the incident with details of the location, date and time you observed the incident, the type of waste dumped, and a description of the vehicle observed dumping the waste (with registration details if applicable). Any other details are also helpful.
Council wishes to advise that under the Protection of the Environment Operations Act, 1997 Council can issue on the spot fines for illegal dumping.
