Compliance - Litter and Illegal Dumping

Littering and dumping goods, including building supplies and garden waste, is illegal. The most common type of litter in Australia is cigarette butts which take up to five years to break down.

Please ensure all litter is placed in a bin and materials not suitable for disposal in a bin are taken to Kimbriki or another suitable facility. More information on Council's Waste and Recyling service.
