Illegal Dumping

It is illegal to dump green waste in bushland, regardless of the type of garden materials. You can be fined for illegal dumping. Dumping degrades the local environment as it contributes to the spread of weeds in reserves and waterways. Please use the Council services provided for the proper disposal of garden waste.
