Dumping or placing of large items or rubbish on public land (nature strips, roadsides, bushland, reserves, parks) or private land without authorisation is illegal. Dumping of rubbish or the accumulation of waste is unsightly and damages the environment. You can report dumped rubbish online
Across the City of Whittlesea, households are offered up to two hard rubbish collections each financial year. The hard rubbish items are collected and taken to the Wollert Landfill.
Current law:
The current Local Law does not adequately address the dumping or placing of large items on any land.
Proposed idea:
This idea aims to prevent the dumping of hard rubbish and second-hand goods on nature strips and the kerbside.
A new law idea would make it illegal to put hard rubbish or secondhand items on the kerbside or nature strips outside of booked collections.
