All general waste disposal is free for residents.

Illegal Dumping

Shire Rangers are constantly patrolling the streets and surrounding bushland for any form of illegal dumping and are authorised to issue fines of up to $2,000.

Shire Rangers may report any findings to the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER) which is responsible for the investigating and prosecuting of illegal dumping under the Environmental Protection Act.

Reporting of littering or illegal dumping anywhere within the Shire, should be reported to Ranger’s with as much information possible.

Illegal dumping is the unauthorised discharging or abandonment of waste and is an offence under Section 49A of the EP Act. The offence carries a maximum fine of $125,000 for corporations and $62,500 for individuals.
