Illegal dumping

It is an offence to dispose of litter onto any land or into any waters. Significant penalties apply depending on the type and amount of litter. 

Penalties range from a $210 - $1,000 expiation fee or, if legal action is taken, a maximum penalty of $5,000 - $120,000.

If you fail to remove dumped items when asked to do so by a Council officer you face a $210 on the spot fine or a maximum penalty of $5,000. 

Reporting illegal dumping

If you see someone dumping rubbish or household items you can report it online via CityWatch, call us on 8416 6333 or email the Service Centre.

Helpful information for investigations

  • the date/day and time

  • description of the person or people involved

Shopping trolleys

Shopping trolleys that are left in a public place are considered to be illegally dumped. 

When you use a shopping trolley, it is your responsibility to return it to the bays provided or to the store.  Trolleys should not be taken from shopping centres.

Abandoned trolleys make our streets and parks look unsightly and are a hazard to pedestrians, cyclists and drivers.

The cost of collecting and replacing abandoned trolleys is paid for by the customer through increased product prices.
