Illegal DumpingNo vegetation or prohibited materials to be placed at public or private wharves. Fines for illegal dumping will apply. Dumped material pollutes the environment and can harm wildlife and native flora. If you see someone dumping material in our reserves, wharves or bushland areas, please take note of any registration details, description of the vehicle/vessel, person, date and time, then report it to Council.

Any dumped material should be reported (whether the person responsible is known or not) so that Council can take action and investigate the matter. Did you know that you can be fined or prosecuted for transporting waste to a place that cannot legally accept it?

Legal waste facilities are Kimbriki Resource Recovery Centre at Terrey Hills, kimbriki.com.au and SUEZ at Belrose, suez.com.au
